From my knowledge of Farsopoli, years back when I used to do all sorts of reading into it, Facchetti was the worst culprit when it came to lobbying of referees, or at least on par with anything Moggi was evidenced to have said on the wiretaps. Actually, maybe Meani the Galliani puppet might have been worse, but he acted with impunity.
Truth is coming out from potentially future most relevant sources

The Truth About Calciopoli: A Balanced Overview
Calciopoli, uncovered in May 2006, was a major scandal in Italian football centered on improper influence over referee appointments during the 2004-05 and 2005-06 Serie A seasons. It stemmed from wiretapped phone calls between club executives, referee designators (like Paolo Bergamo and Pierluigi Pairetto), and others. While often mislabeled as "match-fixing," official verdicts found no actual fixed matches or direct manipulation of game outcomes for Juventus (the most punished club). The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) deemed the seasons fair and legitimate, with referee selections following rules.
Juventus was stripped of their 2004-05 and 2005-06 Scudetti, relegated to Serie B with a points deduction, and their executives (Luciano Moggi and Antonio Giraudo) received lifetime bans (later appealed and partially annulled due to statute of limitations).
Other clubs like AC Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio, and Reggina faced lighter penalties (points deductions but no relegation).
The "truth" is nuanced: While Juventus executives attempted to influence favorable referee assignments through exclusive relationships with designators (a violation of Article 1 on sporting loyalty), no evidence showed they demanded specific favors, contacted referees directly, or altered games.
Investigations revealed widespread involvement across clubs, including Inter Milan (who escaped punishment and were awarded the 2006 Scudetto due to statute of limitations).
Critics argue the process was biased, with selective prosecution fueled by media leaks from outlets linked to rivals (e.g., Gazzetta dello Sport, partly influenced by Inter interests).
Juventus was absolved in civil courts, and many sentences expired without full convictions.
Below, I address the specific points where Juventus was accused, but those claims were later deemed false or unsubstantiated in official verdicts or investigations. These highlight how media sensationalism (often from Gazzetta) amplified unproven allegations.
1. Ref Never Closed Room (Paparesta Locked Room Incident)Accusation: After Juventus's 2-1 loss to Reggina on November 6, 2004 (refereed by Gianluca Paparesta), Moggi and Giraudo allegedly locked Paparesta and his assistants in the dressing room, berating them for not favoring Juve. This was portrayed as intimidation or even "kidnapping" in media reports, contributing to Moggi's ban.
Truth: The claim was false and exaggerated. Moggi denied it, stating he got angry over Paparesta's errors but didn't lock anyone in.
Paparesta never formally accused Moggi of threats; he admitted fear over his own mistakes in the game.
The prosecutor in the Cassation trial explicitly said Moggi "did not lock him in there."
Investigations treated it absurdly as potential kidnapping but found no evidence to support it as a key violation.
Overall verdicts absolved Juve of such direct intimidation, focusing instead on appointment influence.
This became a symbol of "selective justice," as similar referee contacts by other clubs (e.g., Inter) weren't punished.
2. Ref Video DesignationAccusation: Juventus (via Moggi) manipulated referee designations, implying rigged selections or non-random processes (sometimes referenced in discussions of "video" or lottery-style designations to prove fairness).
Truth: Referee designations followed FIGC rules and were not illicitly altered.
Calls from Moggi to designator Bergamo were legal at the time (clubs could contact designators) and didn't constitute sporting fraud.
No evidence of demands for specific referees or favors; the system used grids and sorteggi (draws), which were compliant.
Other clubs, including Inter and Milan, made similar calls to influence designations, but only Juve was heavily penalized.
3. Gazzetta False Yellow CardsAccusation: Moggi orchestrated yellow cards for rival players (already on warnings) in games before facing Juve, suspending them. Gazzetta dello Sport heavily promoted this, citing examples like Udinese-Bologna and Juventus-Sampdoria.
Truth: No such organization existed; the claim was debunked.
Specific cases were false: In Udinese-Bologna, yellows went to players not carrying priors (Pinzi and Di Michele played against Juve anyway).
In Juventus-Sampdoria, the alleged offside goal wasn't tied to card manipulation.
Judges Cesare Ruperto and Piero Sandulli ruled no pre-planned yellow card system and no fixed games.
Gazzetta's role was controversial—it leaked transcripts illegally and was linked to Inter (owned by Inter VP Carlo Buora), amplifying anti-Juve narratives.
4. Facchetti 4-4-4Accusation/Context: This refers to a November 26, 2004, call between Inter president Giacinto Facchetti and designator Bergamo before Inter-Parma (ref: Bertini). It wasn't a direct Juve accusation but highlights hypocrisy—Inter escaped while Juve was punished for similar conduct.
Truth: Transcript: Facchetti notes Bertini's Inter record: "4 wins, 4 draws, 4 losses" (4-4-4). Bergamo: "Let's make it 5-4-4, but victories." Facchetti: "Tell him it's determinant." Bergamo agrees to contact Bertini.
This violated Article 6 (sporting illicit/attempted fraud), more severe than Juve's Article 1 breaches.
In 2011, FIGC prosecutor Stefano Palazzi concluded Inter should have faced penalties (e.g., points deduction or title revocation), but statute of limitations applied.
Facchetti made multiple calls to designators, including home visits to Bergamo—far beyond Juve's contacts.
This exemplifies "selective justice," as Inter was deemed "guiltier" in some analyses.
In summary, Calciopoli exposed systemic issues, but Juventus bore disproportionate blame amid unproven claims. Inter's deeper involvement (e.g., Facchetti's calls) went unpunished, fueling debates over bias.
The scandal's legacy persists, with Juventus pursuing appeals and some calling for title restitution.
