There has been a new development in the investigation into the Ultras of AC Milan and Inter, involving the red half of the city.
An investigation was launched into the Curva Nord and Curva Sud after the murder of Bellocco (an Inter ultra) which saw 19 ultras arrested, albeit with different charges. As the case is ongoing, updated continue to filter our as more is uncovered.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the leader of the Curva Sud – Luca Lucci – could be in more trouble as he has received another order of precautionary custody in prison.
According to the DDA, Lucci is said to be part of an association, close to the Barbaro ‘Ndrangheta mafia gang, which allegedly ‘imported and distributed over two tonnes of drugs’ between Lombardy and Calabria.
Having been already put under investigation for criminal association aimed at a series of crimes and for the attempted murder in 2019 of a Milan ultra, Enzo Anghinelli, now Lucci will also have to answer to the charge of drug trafficking.
This morning the military of the Guardia di Finanza of Pavia executed a precautionary custody order against 20 people in the provinces of Pavia, Milan, Reggio Calabria, Lecco and Piacenza, of which 15 are in prison (including Lucci) and five are under house arrest.
