An investigation that shakes the world of football, especially the Milanese one. Yesterday the agents of the Central Operational Service of the Central Anti-Crime Directorate of the State Police, of the Flying Squad and of the Guardia di Finanza of Milan – coordinated by the DDA of the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Milan – carried out nineteen precautionary measures, signed by the investigating judge Domenico Santoro, and around fifty searches of people investigated in various capacities for criminal association, with the aggravating circumstance of the mafia method, extortion, injuries and other serious crimes. Those arrested – fifteen in prison and three under house arrest, the nineteenth was Bellocco, who died on 4 September – are almost all attributable to the ultras fans of Inter and Milan and the crimes connected to the turnover linked to the football context.
The accusations – as mentioned – relate to dozens and dozens of crimes, as underlined by Marcello Viola, Milan Prosecutor. “Our request had already been presented in June, before Bellocco’s murder. As regards the AC Milan fans, the aggravating circumstance of an approach to organized crime was not recognised. But even there there are extraordinary forms of violence gravity. Out of the investigations it emerges that the leaders of the two supporters had signed a sort of non-belligerence pact, aimed at maximizing illicit profits. And I’ll quote you a few passages: ‘We don’t care about the team, the signing campaign, the people : if I do it there must be an economic return…’. There is nothing sporting here: just obtaining profit”, some of the statements made at the press conference.
