Ultras case, the millionaires taking in the Curva Nord. Now Beretta is collaborating with the magistrates

The newspaper The Truth distributed this morning on newsstands, it dedicates in-depth pages to the ultras issue and to the investigations of the Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office who are bringing to light a series of alleged illicit activities attributable to the leaders of the supporters organized in the Inter and Milan corners.

Around the second green ring of San Siro, the newspaper writes, a mountain of money revolved. And among the leaders of the Curva Nord it was all about money, how to divide the proceeds and manage the accounting. The article, putting together the various pieces of the mosaic that emerged with the wiretaps present in the prosecutors’ investigation documents, estimates the earnings of the core of the Nerazzurri’s organized support at 1 and a half million euros per year. And what’s more, part of the loot is also in the black, thanks to the management of tickets, merchandising and parking around the San Siro. But then the money has to be divided, and this is where the problems begin. Vittorio Boiocchi and Antonio Bellocco, both killed, know this well. A conversation on 25 July 2003 between the leader of the North, Marco Ferdico, and Bellocco in which the two counted the takings, confirms this. Bellocco, moreover, raises suspicions about Beretta who then murdered him: “You said that this is black money (…) And where is the clean money? You spent 100,000 euros on choreography, where is the other 200,000 ? You made a million and a half in profit.” And in yet another passage, hypotheses emerge that Bellocco’s Calabrian family, connected to the ‘Ndrangheta, would like to intervene to put things right. Passage of interest for what happened a year later, when, in Cernusco sul Naviglio, Bellocco was stabbed to death.

Beretta which Ferdico and Bellocco investigated privatelywith hackers who had entered the accounting of his company We Are Milano. Now Beretta is in prison in Opera and, as reported by the newspaper, he has started to collaborate with the judiciary.
