Milan officials may face trial

MILAN (Reuters) - A Milan prosecutor has asked a judge to order the vice-presidents of soccer clubs Inter Milan and AC Milan to stand trial for possible false accounting, a judicial source said yesterday.

The source said the prosecutor had asked for the case against Inter president Massimo Moratti to be dropped.

Moratti and Milan's vice-president Adriano Galliani were placed under investigation in January as part of a probe into suspected false accounting in Serie A football.

The prosecutor called for Galliani, Inter vice-president Rinaldo Ghelfi and former Inter executive Mauro Gambaro to go to trial.

A judicial source told Reuters in January that Milan public prosecutor Carlo Nocerino was investigating whether clubs manipulated their balance sheets by inflating the prices of players they bought and sold.
