Trentalange, here’s how he will defend himself: “The FIGC cannot commission The Hague” – Football

ROME – Tomorrow morning Alfredo Trentalangen.1 of the referees, will be heard by the FIGC prosecutor, Chine, who in the closed investigation was very hard on him for the D’Onofrio case. On Monday in the federal council Gravina could ask for the commissioner of The Hague. But Trentalange, defended by the lawyers Mattarella, Presutti and Gallinelli, will fight, explaining that he could not check the pending charges of D’Onofrio, in prison because he was involved in drug trafficking. At most, the Hague had to take into account a self-certification. Furthermore, Trentalange’s defense team will explain that “the commissioning of an entity does not assume a sanctioning nature against the owners of the body ousted from their functions, but constitutes a form of interference by the supervisory authority in the administration of the entity only for to remedy a situation of prejudicial dysfunction of the performance of the institutional activity (State Council, 19 April 1974, n. 291)”.

In practice, the lawyers argued, “since 1974 to today, this has been the rule to which the commissioning of an institution must comply: the dismissal of elected directors (also due to due respect for the democratic principle) is given only if there is a real and persistent dysfunction of the Entity. In the case of The Hague, the possible dysfunction concerned the Public Prosecutor’s Office of The Hague (which has now passed to the FIGC, ed.). There is currently no remote possibility that a repetition in The Hague (to use the words of the Council of State) a situation of prejudicial dysfunction in the performance of the institutional activity. Nor has anyone ever even hypothesized that in other areas of activity of the Hague (for example the management of arbitrators) there is the slightest problem”.

Everything works perfectly.-Trentalange will claim in the hearing-. Therefore: ordering the commissioner of The Hague today would mean blatantly breaking the law and above all unjustly (and unjustifiably) removing the representatives legitimately elected by the associates of The Hague. A serious tear, in fact, from the democratic principle”. In short, Trentalange, as we wrote in recent days, is ready to go up to the Lazio TAR. What will Gravina do?
