Vieri demands Moratti explanation

Christian Vieri has demanded an explanation from Massimo Moratti after it was revealed that the Inter chief had someone spy on him.

The latest scandal broke out last week, when the newspapers revealed hundreds of interceptions over the past few years conducted by Telecom Italia, one of Inter’s shareholders.

“I am very disappointed and would like to know why Moratti behaved like this – we had a very good relationship and I didn’t expect anything like this,” said Vieri. “I guess six years of my life and 133 goals were not enough to earn Inter’s trust.”

The Atalanta man has asked the FIGC Investigation Office to open a file and will claim damages from Telecom Italia, while he is considering the idea of suing Moratti and the club.

“Christian has no intention of ignoring this issue. His private life is continuously violated and he has now decided to counter attack,” said Vieri’s lawyer Danilo Buongiorno. “He felt betrayed but he is not looking for revenge. He only wants to understand what happened and why it happened, in order to protect his privacy.”
