Mafia entanglements
Milan hooligans arrested in police raid
Several hooligans from AC Milan and Inter Milan were arrested in Milan on Monday as part of a large-scale police raid. Several house searches were carried out, according to the police.
The investigations were led by the anti-mafia authorities. Involvement between hooligan groups and the mafia is suspected. Those arrested are accused of extortion, assault and other crimes, the police reported.
The suspects are "almost without exception members of the ultra-groups of the Milan clubs". The leaders of the Ultras of the two city rivals are also among those arrested.
Extortion and assault
There are suspected links between the Ultra groups and the mafia, for example in the sale of tickets or drug dealing. According to the police, "criminal conspiracies with mafia-like methods, extortion, assault and other serious crimes" are involved.
At the beginning of September, a killing within the organized soccer fan scene in Milan also caused a stir. The leader of an ultra group of the champions Inter Milan confessed to a fatal knife attack, but claimed to have acted in self-defense. The victim was also part of the fan scene and a member of a powerful family of the 'Ndrangheta, the mafia in the southern Italian region of Calabria.
