Lazio captain Stefano Mauri and former Genoa midfielder Omar Milanetto are among 14 people arrested by police investigating allegations of a match-fixing scandal in Italy.
Juventus coach Antonio Conte and Italy defender Domenico Criscito have also been questioned by police.
Criscito has been excluded from the national squad for Euro 2012 as a result of the ongoing investigation.

A police statement said they searched 30 homes of players, trainers and administrators of clubs in Serie A, Serie B and Lega Pro, on suspicion of involvement in match-fixing.
Police in the northern city of Cremona said they were investigating Conte, fresh from his triumph in leading Juventus to the Italian Serie A championship for the first time since the club was relegated in 2006 in an earlier match-fixing scandal.
'Conte's reaction is that of someone who's completely innocent and strongly determined to prove his total innocence,' Conte's lawyer, Antonio De Rencis, said.
