Trentalange resigns from The Hague, is no longer president of the arbitrators – Corriere.it

Alfredo Trentalange has resigned from the office of President of the Italian Referees Association. This evening, at 21, the Members of the National Committee of the AIA will meet the Presidents of the respective macro-regions by videoconference to explain the reasons for this choice.

The known issue: the D’Onofrio scandal, the former head of the arbitration prosecutor’s office accused of drug trafficking.

At the head of the Assoarbitri since February 2021, when he defeated the outgoing president Marcello Nicchi in the elections, Trentalange had had to deal with the judicial case in recent weeks.

And, after the loss of arbitration justice, which passed under the aegis of the Football Federation, the number one from The Hague was thus also targeted by the federal prosecutor Chin, who had accused him, among the disciplinary behaviors relevant, of the violation of Article . 4.1 of the sports justice code, or the duty to behave according to the principles of loyalty, probit and correctness, having among other things – as head of the Assoarbitri – the responsibility of appointing the heads of the AIA justice bodies. According to the prosecution, Trentalange – heard on Friday by Chin himself – allegedly omitted any initiative aimed at ascertaining D’Onofrio’s real professional and moral requirements.
