Rome, 10 Nov. (LaPresse) – A new controversy has shaken the Italian Referees Association (AIA), which recently elected its new president, Francesco Massini. An appeal has been filed with the FIGC National Federal Tribunal challenging the appointment of the AIA’s new president, who was elected in a run-off on 10 October with 461 votes against Carlo Pacifici’s 441, over alleged irregularities in the electoral process. The news was first reported by La Repubblica and confirmed to LaPresse by AIA sources. According to reports, the appeal was signed by Sue Ellen Salvatore, who has been a member of the AIA’s Gallarate section for more than 23 years and was one of the candidates for the National Committee. If the appeal is upheld by the National Federal Tribunal, the AIA could be placed under administration.
