Italy rocked by another match-fixing scandal as probe sees 19 investigated including Lazio captain Mauri and Juve boss Conte
Police action: Juventus' coach Antonio Conte is under investigation

Monday's operation was part of 'Last Bet', a wider investigation into match-fixing in Italian soccer which has already seen a number of arrests of current and former Italian players. 

'In this part of the investigation, indications have emerged of manipulation in matches from the 2010-11 Serie A championship, including games between Lazio and Genoa and Lecce and Lazio,'
Raffale Grassi, director of SCO, the police service responsible for the investigation told SkyTG24 television. 

Five people have also been arrested in Hungary on suspicion of being part of an illegal international betting ring.

Mauri has been accused of sporting fraud. Most of the footballers accused now play in Serie B or lower leagues, although Omar Milanetto spent five years at Genoa before joining Padova in 2011.
