Inter and Milan ultra football fans ‘decimated’ by mafia arrests in massive police crackdown

Several top ultras of Milanese football clubs have been detained on the accusation of forming criminal groups aiming to take control of businesses in and around the San Siro stadium.

Italian police detained 19 people on Monday on suspicion of organizing mafia organizations related to the football industry. According to local media, this action “decimated” the leadership of fan groups supporting two storied Serie A clubs.
The bulk of those in custody are ardent supporters of Milanese football teams, AC Milan and FC Internazionale, also known as top ultras. Criminal conspiracy, using “mafia methods,” extortion, assault, and other serious offenses are among the charges. The ‘Ndrangheta, a Calabrian mafia organization, may be involved, the authorities continued.
The ring was purportedly trying to seize control of a number of commercial operations at Milan’s Giuseppe Meazza stadium, popularly known as San Siro, including food service, ticket and fan memento sales, and paid parking administration. Authorities think they might have been involved in drug trafficking as well, though.
Authorities believe, however, that they may have also been involved in drug trafficking. Luca Lucci, a friend of far-right Lega party leader Matteo Salvini, was also taken into custody by the police.
A “non-belligerence pact” between Inter and Milan supporters was established in 1981 in response to the death of a 21-year-old fan.

According to the authorities, the two groups’ agreement has evolved into a business contract with the goal of “making money and working together to oversee all financially feasible aspects of our joint venture.”
