Juventus Chairman Andrea Agnelli had
contacts with 'Ndrangheta Calabrian mafia boss Rocco Dominello
"to handle tickets and season tickets," an Italian Soccer
Federation (FIGC) prosecutor told the parliamentary anti-Mafia
commission Tuesday.
General Manager Beppe Marotta also had "occasional relations"
with ultra milieux allegedly linked to 'Ndrangheta bosses,
prosecutor Giuseppe Pecoraro said.
Pecoraro said he had received over 5,000 pages of evidence
from Turin prosecutor Armando Spataro in a probe into alleged
'Ndrangheta infiltration of Juve fan circles.
Juve has denied all knowledge of the alleged links.
Responding to the report, Agnelli denied meeting Calabrian
'Ndrangheta mafia bosses about tickets.
"With respect for investigative and judicial bodies I stress
that I never met mafia bosses," Agnelli tweeted.
"What I have read is false".
