Five years after the Calciopoli scandal Italian football has been rocked by fresh controversy after police made 16 arrests as part of an investigation into an alleged betting and match-fixing ring, with current and recently retired players believed to be among the ringleaders.

Giuseppe Signori, a former Italy international and Lazio captain and one of the country's best-loved players, was among several players, executives and bookmakers arrested as part of Cremona police's Ultima Scommessa (Last Bet) investigation. Signori told Italian media: "Have some mercy. I can't say anything. I will meet my lawyer and then he'll speak for me."

Police said the investigation had produced evidence of an organised system among former and current footballers, sports-betting operators and others to manipulate results, with bets worth tens of thousands of euros, and in some cases hundreds of thousands of euros, placed on the outcome.
