Ample space for the ultras case on the pages of The Truth distributed this morning on newsstands. From the documents of the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Milan it is clear that some of the suspects aimed to go on an away trip and move towards Rome to expand business at the Olympic stadium. The aim is to grab the parking spaces outside the Capitoline stadium, together with those of San Siro.
This line of investigation, among other things, led to searches of Aldo Russo and his brother Mauro, respectively Maldini’s brother-in-law and Bobo Vieri’s business partner. And according to what emerges from the wiretaps, one of those arrested, Giuseppe Caminiti, aimed to obtain the support of Gabriele Gravina, president of the FIGC. All of this, the newspaper underlines, has already been denied by the latter. Caminiti is one of the leaders of the operation, according to the investigators he is the ‘ras’ of the car parks at the Meazza. In an interception with two non-investigators dating back to 7 January 2021, Caminiti explains: “The ‘ndrangheta that wants to enter the curve is for the business that has stuff (drugs, ed.). But also parking lots! Everything! behind it the stadium is a real business! It’s an identity card, a passepartout for everything else. Do you understand? Then what do they do… from the parking lot they take the cleaning services… from the cleaning they take the restaurant management … from the restaurants they take the Curva… they take everything!”.
And Caminiti continued: “The car parks are a lot of stuff, eh! I made him take the contract… the undersigned was. As the undersigned was, if he takes Rome and all the others. If we succeed, we have played bingo with Roma… we scored top marks.” And here Gravina’s name appears: “You can put Gravina, you tell him ‘listen to me, Pegaso must win… Pegaso must win the tender… stop'”. Faced with the request to go to Rome with him, Caminiti’s interlocutor replies: “Now Gabriele has so many things on his mind that I won’t tell you… I’ll be down next Monday, I’ll call him, I’ll make an appointment for him because these things they must be spoken verbally”.
