An Italian MP said Monday that he
wants the country's financial market regulator and economy
ministry to look into "errors" during a soccer game involving
two teams owned by publicly-traded companies.
Marco Miccoli, a member of the centre-left Democratic Party
(PD) of Premier Matteo Renzi, said he will ask the regulator
Consob and the economy minister to investigate the impact of
officiating during Sunday's fiery Serie A match between Juventus
and Roma.
Juventus defeated Roma 3-2 in a fierce match that some
complained involved controversial officiating.
Miccoli's complaint is based on "the events recorded
(Sunday) night during the game between Juventus and Roma" which
he said make Italy look bad and hurt shareholders' value.
"Remember that Roma and Juventus are publicly traded
companies," he said.
Errors of the sort seen in Sunday's match will drive away
future investors, said Miccoli.
