Giuseppe Pecoraro, former FIGC Prosecutor, spoke to ‘Radio CRC’ to comment on the investigation linked to the arrested AC Milan and Inter ultra leaders: “We have to distinguish the cases. If people belonging to the club are involved, then we could proceed with penalties or disciplinary sanctions from a sporting point of view. Instead, if it were to be a case similar to the one that involved Juventus at the time , we are resorting to financial sanctions. I would be surprised if Simone Inzaghi was involved in the investigation and I hope he is not, he has been in Rome for several years then you are liable to disciplinary sanctions.”
On curves, this is Pecoraro’s thoughts: “It depends on which curve we are talking about. When I was in the public security department we knew that some curves were politicised. There were criminal subjects connected to the extreme political world, fortunately not parliamentary ones. In Rome I decided to have the match between Roma and Lazio played in the afternoon because we had news of delinquent situations. In the match between Napoli and Fiorentina the murderer whose murderer was also a Roma player died. We had already decided to continue with the consent of De Laurentiis and Della. Valle, despite the events that took place including the episode involving Marek Hamsik in which he went under the curve to ask permission from the ultras boss to play the match. That gesture was a serious mistake when the Digos boss told me that the Napoli captain was there I got angry and asked: Who sent him to us? The judicial authority never evaluated the fact. I don’t know and I can’t blame anyone. It certainly wasn’t me, De Laurentiis or Della Valle.”

“I haven’t found it yet! The next day I met the prosecutor Melillo in Florence and we commented on the episode. He asked me to do everything possible to understand what had happened in Inter-Juventus. Years later I can only say that very serious damage was done to Napoli even if Napoli then lost in Florence.”
