Prime Minister of Italy Mario Monti proposed the football in the country to be frozen for 2 or 3 years because of the last corruption scandal.

Only six years after "Kalchopoli" the country was shook by new revelations of match fixing, which led to numerous arrests of former and active players, including the search room of Domenico Krishito in the camp of the national team.

"The news about the state of our football in recent days invoke only sadness and it seems that soon this scary scenario will reach its end," said Monty. "In recent years, fed up with so many shameful phenomena: we saw the invisible extortion of Omerta (code of honor of the Mafia - br), we saw kneeling players of Genoa, which reduced these head in front of God knows what threats from hidden forces. I find it unacceptable that still with government money are given for the debts of the football clubs. "

"In light of these events I am issuing a proposal that does not come from my office and these are my thoughts spoken aloud: I wonder whether if we stop the game for 2 or 3 years, this will help," said Monty.
