ROME, Jan 25 (Reuters) - Serie A leaders Inter Milan have been called to appear before the Italian Football Federation's (FIGC) disciplinary committee to answer charges of falsifying documents in the transfer of a goalkeeper.

Simone Brunelli moved from AC Milan to Inter in 2003 but after being sent on loan to a series of lower division clubs he claimed the signature on the transfer documents was not his.

Inter risk a fine if found guilty.

The 23-year-old's transfer is also the subject of a separate investigation by Milan magistrates into false accounting by the two clubs.

Last week Inter president Massimo Moratti and Milan vice-president Adrian Galliani were called for questioning as part of the probe looking into the way clubs manipulate balance sheets by inflating the prices of players they buy and sell.

Neither man has been charged. The magistrates said they intended to hand on their findings to the FIGC, which could then decide whether to open its own investigation.

Last September, Rome magistrates called for the president of AS Roma, Franco Sensi, and the former president of Lazio, Sergio Cragnotti, to stand trial for false accounting. Both men deny the accusations.

Italian football is so corrupt. I wonder is any team clean

Palermo for the title!!! Seriously, I'd stick my neck out and say that if you investigated any top league bar possibly Germany, you would find out its corrupt to the hilts. I only exclude Germany as they give me the impression of everything is straight down the line. I certainly remember living in Frankfurt any member of the public could get a full run down on accounts for Eintract as they have a ruling where everything must be completely open.

I'd say the prem is up there with Italy in the scandal ranks just it gets covered up over there. The question is, if Inter get this year taken off them surely they must get the one that was handed to them from last season taken off them also.

From what I've read they'll get a fine. Then appeal it 3 times and get the next 5 leagues awarded to them by default.

I dont think it will be a big fine. A slap on the wrist maybe

Is there no end to corruption in Italy but then again as has been posted here already I'm sure it ain't just confined to Italy.
