The Italian FA have asked DAZN for video evidence in the case of an alleged blasphemous outburst by Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez has been at the centre of some controversy regarding the end of the Derby d’Italia against Juventus.

That match had ended in a 1-0 loss for Inter. Naturally, the mood was not a positive one considering the Serie A title implications and the rivalry with the Bianconeri.

Moreover, Martinez’s performance had not been a positive one. The Argentine squandered good chances during the match.

Inter captain Martinez vented his anger in the aftermath of that Derbt d’Italia loss.

And there are allegations that the 27-year-old used blasphemous language, a punishable offense in Italian football.

So far, however, there has been no conclusive evidence of Martinez using any blasphemous language.

The Sporting Justice looked into the matter. But they found no audio evidence of the language, and lip reading evidence was inadmissible.

And for his part, Martinez has vehemently denied using any blasphemous language.

That does not mean that the matter is closed, however.

The Gazzetta report that Italian FA prosecutor Giuseppe Chine is still investigating the incident.

According to the newspaper Chine has requested all the video from the end of the match from DAZN, the main broadcaster of Serie A in Italy.

The Gazzetta report that there certainly would not be a suspension for Martinez for this weekend’s Serie A clash with Napoli, however.

Furthermore, the newspaper reports, due to it being Italian FA prosecutor Chine rather than the Sporting Justice, there may be no suspension at all even if Chine does find conclusive evidence of blasphemous language.

Rather, Martinez could pay a fine as part of a settlement.
