End of the suspension and reinstatement in the referee ranks for the imperial whistle Davide Massa. The stop period imposed on Massa and his colleague Piero Giacomelli ended yesterday following the alleged accounting irregularities of the two referees regarding refunds.

After the precautionary suspension, which began in July, Massa will already be regularly designated to direct one of the Serie A matches of the weekend.
«At the end of the investigations – underlines Alessandro Savioli, head of the local section of The Hague – the disciplinary commission and the arbitration prosecutor, having listened to the counter-arguments of Massa, decided not to ask for other measures. We had no doubts about his honesty. We were sure that everything would be resolved in a soap bubble ».
