The Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office have arrested a number of key figures from Inter’s Curva Nord and AC Milan’s Curva Sud this morning on charges of criminal association, reports claim.
Radio Rossonera have summarised the reports from various papers this morning, beginning with the fact that some leaders of the two groups are being charged for mafia methods, extortion, assault and other serious crimes.
The raid by the police arrived at dawn today, Monday 30 September and there were 16 arrests and two people put under house arrest after a major investigation ‘into extortion, bribery, cartels and fights between the leading groups of the organised fan bases of Inter and Milan’, as per the Corriere della Sera.
After the murder of Antonio Bellocco – a member of the board of Inter’s Curva Nord and linked to the ‘ndrangheta (a famous Italian mafia group) it was interpreted as a sign of ‘increasingly close relations between some sectors of organised Milanese fans and Calabrian criminal clans’, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Among those arrested, Corriere adds, are ‘the head of the Curva Nord Andrea Beretta, the deputy head Marco Ferdico, Renato Bosetti, Matteo Norrito known as “Chuck”, Mauro Nepi, Luca Lucci, his brother Francesco Lucci, Christian Rosiello, Islam Hagag known as “Alex Cologno”, Alessandro Sticco known as “Shrek” and Fabiano Capuzzo’.
In the case of the Curva Sud of Milan ‘a criminal association without the aggravating circumstance of mafia facilitation is contested, active above all in episodes of violence’.
“Calabrian criminal clans”.. is that the reason calabria is the captain. It’s gotta be
Nothing new on the horizon, let’s see what they “find out” in their investigations. In Eastern Europe ultras are not only backed by the mafia but used as a huge lever for political shenanigans as well. E.g. important peaceful protests are always infiltrated by “unidentified” ultras who wreak havoc for 30 mins and disappear, discrediting the whole organization, etc. The states have FBI agents undercover, we have hooligans :).
Well the post is about Milan-Inter ultras.
Respectfully speaking, no one gives a f*** about Eastern European fans
Yep, excuse me, you are right, next time I will ask you for approval prior to posting anything and lesson learned – no f*** about EE fans :).
Out of curiosity, what triggers you more – sharing something about EE that seeming has similar issues, or my general lack of support for ultras in Curva Sud that might have connections with the mafia?
Otherwise, I don’t see what I shared so much out of topic and was hoping to get a response on how things actually are in Italy.
It’s well known that both Curve in Milan are involved in drugs trafficking and have strong ties with the mafia. Maldini turned his back to these gangsters while he was the captain of the team, hence their disgraceful behavior for his retirement game.
And Baresi didn’t? Because they all seemed to be in love with Baresi. “True Captain” and all..
Maldini and Baresi are two different people who approach things differently wtf 😂. U just like to stir the pot. How does Baresi come into this? It’s painfully obvious the “only Captain” banner was using another beloved Milan figure to drive a dig at Maldini himself because they wanted him to feel bad. Duh. Don’t be so dum.b. They were still in their feelings from the confrontation after the Liverpool game. Shame they couldn’t put that aside to honour all other years of service and the 5 champions league he gave them smh 🤦♂️. Besides we got revenge in 2007, no? And I’m sure they all celebrated that victory too.
What??? Bro u don’t know what you’re talking about. These ppl aren’t saints. Milan’s curva had been led by convicted criminals for the past how many years now. What do u mean by “find out”?The current leader has been charged and convicted for trafficking and drugs. And they have ties to the mafia. Don’t be so naive
Not those great guys in Curva Sud… What a shock! (Heavy sarcasm)
