Ultras investigation in Milan, after Beretta Ferdico also regrets: "To hold the Curva we needed the 'ndrangheta"

OpenIndependentCenteryesterday

Marco Ferdico, former vice-leader of the Inter's Curva Nord, has cooperated with prosecutors in an investigation into organized crime infiltration at San Siro stadium. His revelations indicate that the 'Ndrangheta extended its influence beyond the Inter's section to include the Milan's Curva Sud through the Trimboli clan. The investigation uncovered agreements between the two fan groups during the 2023 Champions League semi-final, where they planned to split ticket revenue profits. This arrangement required approval from Rosario Trimboli, a prominent member of the Calabrian organized crime, who gave his endorsement through an intermediary. The deal reportedly earned Luca Lucci, leader of Milan's Curva Sud, significant financial benefits.

An ex-leader of the Inter's Curva Nord, Marco Ferdico, has continued to cooperate with authorities by providing three statements during investigations into organized crime ties within the fan group. The case relates to the 'Doppia curva' investigation, which led to arrests and ongoing trials involving mafia connections with the 'ndrangheta', including charges of murder and attempted murder. Ferdico revealed that the 'ndrangheta' was involved in maintaining control over the Curva Nord, and he confirmed this claim with reference to former leader Andrea Beretta. He also detailed interactions with footballer Federico Dimarco, who allegedly promised to gift rings with diamonds to Ferdico, Beretta, and an 'ndranghetista' named Antonio Bellocco. These revelations highlight the complex relationship between football fans, criminal organizations, and players.

The article discusses an ongoing investigation into organized ultra groups at San Siro stadium, involving former leaders of the Inter and Milan ultra factions. Marco Ferdico, a former leader of the Inter ultras, has confessed during interrogations to his role in the murder of Vittorio Boiocchi, an ex-leader of the Inter ultras, who was killed outside his home before an Inter vs Sampdoria match in October 2022. Ferdico claims that the 'ndrangheta mafia was involved in managing the organized fan activities at the stadium, stating that 'you needed the 'ndrangheta to keep the North Curve,' which he says Beretta can confirm. The article mentions that Rosario Trimboli, a suspected international drug trafficker linked to the 'ndrangheta, allegedly approved a deal between the Inter and Milan ultra group leaders, under which anyone who reached the Champions League final would give 30% of their earnings to the other side. The investigation also involves other suspects such as Mauro Nepi, who opted for a simplified trial process.
