They all had little arrangement with the referees federation where they could pick and choose who refereed their games and who refereed their rivals games. So Juve could give themselves a referee they liked while ensuring a future opponent got some card happy lunatic so they would play Juventus with a few players suspended.
I'm not sure if there's actually any claim that the referees were being dishonest, or if it was just playing the percentages.
