Stefano Mauri charged with match-fixing

Lazio captain Stefano Mauri along with seven other players and three clubs have been charged for alleged match-fixing during games that took place in May 2011.

Mauri, 33, and his club Lazio are under investigation in the Calcioscommesse scandal with two league games in which he played against Genoa and Lecce in question.

The other players charged with the offence are Massimiliano Benassi, Mario Cassano, Stefano Ferrario, Carlo Gervasoni, Omar Milanetto, Antonio Rosati and Alessandro Zamperini.

If found guilty the clubs concerned would face a points deduction, with Lazio facing two counts of the charge.
