Pjanic-Rafinha case, Le Iene “replay” Inter-Juve on 28 April 2018; here is the dialogue between the VAR and the referee Orsato

Inter-Juve is truly an infinite challenge. Not just figuratively. The episode of “Hyenas” aired tonight, Tuesday 1 June, the Italian derby of 28 April 2018 will be “played again”, a decisive challenge for the outcome of the championship, which the bianconeri won after a long head-to-head with Sarri’s Napoli.

Juve won 3-2 at the end of a challenge full of twists, also due to the intervention of WHERE, which that evening was Valeri. It was he who convinced Orsato than a foul by the Interista Neighbour he was red and not yellow, prompting the referee to change his mind. The next foul of Pjanic, already admonished, come on Rafinha, instead he was not sanctioned with expulsion, but the content of the dialogue between the referee and the VAR it has never been found.

To remedy this lack “Hyenas” they turned to two deaf-mute boys skilled in lip-reading: Valeri asks to review and images the VAR, then presses a red button to draw the referee’s attention and from the lip-reading we understand the confirmation of the VAR: “The contrast is there, I’ve checked it now”.

Alessandro Giallatini, assistant VAR, says “the yellow is there”, repeating it twice, with Valeri stressing “yes, of course”.

The then Public Prosecutor Figc Giuseppe Pecoraro had opened an investigation into the episode, but Rizzoli has always denied the existence of any material. The three arbitrators involved (Orsato, Valeri and Rizzoli) filed a complaint against Hyenas and the former Prosecutor Pecoraro, who would accuse them of “having committed a sports fraud in favor of Juventus and to have suppressed the evidence of this offense “, reads a document.
