Fabio Cannavaro has defended his brother Paolo after he was banned for six months for not reporting an instance of match-fixing.
Ex-Italy goalkeeper Matteo Gianello was also suspended for 39 months by the Italian Football Federation for trying to fix Napoli s clash against Sampdoria in 2010 an incident Paolo Cannavaro was allegedly aware of.
And the World Cup winner insists that his sibling is innocent and, at a charity event in Naples, suggested that sporting law in the country should be changed.
I was very sorry he had to be involved in this story, he is a white knight in a game full of scandals, he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Sporting law should be reformed in order to better judge cases like his.
I had two titles taken away from me, so I know how it feels at times like this because it feels like one is the victim of an injustice.
