There has been a new development in the investigation into AC Milan and Inter Ultras involving the red half of the city.

An investigation was launched in Curva Nord and Curva Sud after the killing of Bellocco (an Inter ultra) which saw 19 ultras arrestedalbeit with different charges. As the case continues, the update continues to filter through us as more is uncovered.

Conformable La Gazzetta dello Sportthe leader of Curva Sud – Luca Lucci – could have more problems as he received yet another pretrial detention order in prison.

According to the DDA, Lucci is said to be part of an association, close to Barbaro ‘Ndrangheta mafia gang, which allegedly “imported and distributed more than two tons of drugs” between Lombardy and Calabria.

Having already been investigated for criminal association involving a series of crimes and the attempted murder in 2019 of a Milan ultra, Enzo Anghinelli, Lucci will now also have to answer to the charge of drug trafficking.

This morning the army Guardia di Finanza in Pavia executed a preventive arrest order against 20 people from the provinces of Pavia, Milan, Reggio Calabria, Lecco and Piacenza, of which 15 are in prison (including Lucci) and five are in custody at home.
