Inter Milan representatives testified before a Milan anti-mafia council regarding the club’s connections to the Curva Nord ultras group and its deceased former leader.
According to a report by Italian newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano, via FCInterNews, two representatives from Inter attended the anti-mafia council of the Municipality of Milan. Lawyer Adriano Raffaelli, President of the Supervisory Body, and head of security Gianluca Cameruccio provided testimony concerning Inter’s relationship with the Curva Nord ultras group.
The investigation primarily focuses on the activities of Vittorio Boiocchi, a former prominent leader of the Curva Nord who was murdered in the fall of 2022. Boiocchi had known ties to organized crime and had served prison sentences in the past.
The Milan anti-mafia commission is particularly interested in Boiocchi’s involvement in managing tickets for Champions League matches related to Inter and his oversight of merchandise sales and financial accounts associated with the Curva Nord, which were reportedly conducted through a non-profit fund. Additionally, Boiocchi was allegedly involved in controlling matchday activities, including parking arrangements near the San Siro stadium.
Inter’s representatives provided testimony to clarify any connections between the club and the Curva Nord that might be relevant to the council’s investigation.
Boiocchi’s murder led to a controversial incident at the San Siro stadium, where members of the Curva Nord emptied the north stand during the second half of a Serie A match against Sampdoria to pay tribute to their deceased leader. This action forced other fans, including women and children, to leave the stadium under threats and intimidation, tarnishing the Nord’s reputation among the wider Inter fanbase.
