VENICE, Italy -- Following are excerpts from Italian police transcripts of alleged conversations about fixing figure skating results at the Salt Lake City Olympics. The excerpts were translated by Italian police from Russian into Italian. The Associated Press translated them from Italian into English.

The conversations allegedly were between suspected Russian mobster Alimzan Tokhtakhounov and a French man identified on wiretaps as "Chevalier.''

Tokhtakhounov, identified in the transcript as "suspect,'' is often referred to as Alek in the conversations.

Chevalier: "I'm calling so you call the mother or father of (Marina Anissina). Everything will go well now because the French, with their vote, have made them champions ... It happened, it happened. Even if the Canadians are 10 times better, the French with their vote have given them first place. You understand?''

Suspect: "Ah-ah''

Chevalier: ''... and this is worth more than money.''

Chevalier: "The French have three judges. They surely need two of them. Of these two votes, one is ours and our friends will give us one because today the Italians have seven votes, six. Six new votes.''

---

Chevalier: "If we ... then if then it happens that the French can win with those four or five.

Chevalier: "In the interview that they did of me in the newspaper, they asked me if I also have students in figure skating. I said, 'No, I take care of them, they are my protected ones, it is something different.' They asked me why and I said, 'Because it is a sport nearer to art and I love this art, I love dancing.' I explained to them that it's not for the girls who perform, but simply for art. And when there was a dark period for them in 1991 and 1992 I helped them. Naturally, together with the president and his family....Give her my Russian number, tell her to call me through Moscow.''

Suspect: "OK, give it to me.''

Chevalier: ''... I will explain in a nutshell: Marina, I do it for the love of Alek, but I also want you to do something for him.''

Suspect: "No, no, poor little thing, she cannot do anything for me.''

Chevalier: "If they at least would tell him ...''

Suspect: "They talked to him, he could not do anything. Marina suffered for this. She would have done anything, but she could not. The president made many promises, but he did nothing, damn.''

Chevalier: "The president of figure skating?''

Suspect: "Yes, he studied with Chirac's assistant, do you understand?''

Chevalier: "The Canadians, the Canadians. The Italians are bigger rivals for Marina. The Canadian skaters in Paris today. They came second and we were first.''

Feb. 19:
Suspect: "My compliments, my dear friend.''

Chevalier: "I tell you, the Russian pairs had one more vote, they wanted to give first place to... the first time, but they didn't do it simply because we had spoken with you ...

"And yesterday I wanted to give them but it was not enough ... but our friends and neighbors there ... the Ukrainians, Azerbaijani, the president of MOK (international Olympic committee) seated next to me.''

Suspect: "Ah-ah''

Chevalier: "And Bulgaria, everyone voted in favor of Russia so that Marina would lose.''

Suspect: "The score was like that.''

Chevalier: "The score was 4-5.''

Suspect: "I see, thank you, my dear!''

---

Chevalier: "The French took the gold medal. All France works for this figure skating.''

Suspect: "Yes, yes, yes ... only, poor Marina, she wanted so much.''

Chevalier: "Of course (Alek), who doesn't want it, people are ready to give a million for such a medal.''

Suspect: "They, too, were ready at the beginning.''

Chevalier: "No. Everyone was ready but we take....We send them to hell.''

Suspect: "They already offered at the beginning....''

Suspect: "Thanks a lot... Chevalier, my dear friend, I'm indebted to you for life.''

Chevalier: "No, no.''

Suspect: "Thank you, brother.''
