Rosario D'Onofrio, former chief prosecutor of Italian Referees' Association AIA, was sentenced in Milan Thursday to five years and eight months in jail. He was found never to have got a degree in medicine, was known as Rambo in the drugs circles for which he acted as an international courier.

About 40 sentences in all, up to 17 years in jail, after a flurry of arrests in 2022, preliminary hearing judge (GUP) Lidia Castellucci handed down. For D'onfrio, who was granted extenuating circumstances because his statements provided useful elements for the investigation, the final sentence, due to continuation with a previous conviction, also for drugs, rose to 7 years and 8 months.
