An AC Milan ultra chief detained at
the end of September in a probe into alleged mafia-style
extortion at the San Siro was served another arrest warrant on
drugs charges related to the Calabrian 'Ndrangheta mafia on
Monday.
The man, Luca Lucci, received the warrant as part of another
investigation by the DDA anti-mafia office into an association,
allegedly close to the Barbaro 'Ndrangheta gang, which allegedly
"imported and distributed", between Lombardy and Calabria, "over
2 tons of narcotics", police said.
On September 30 Milan police carried out dozens of arrests and
seizures in a major operation against alleged clans of AC Milan
and Inter Milan football 'ultra' fans on a number of charges
including
Mafia-style criminal association, extortion and causing bodily
harm.
The suspects are 'ultra' fan leaders of the two football clubs
in Milan who are allegedly implicated in businesses connected to
the world of soccer, according to investigative sources.
Investigators believe the ultra chieftains resold Inter and
Milan match tickets at extortionate prices, imposed monthly
payments on parking spots at Milan's Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro)
stadium, controlled the sale of drinks and merchandise at the
stadium, worked as bodyguards for celebrities and took part in
punitive expeditions and brawls, among other things.
