‘Inter has indirect ties to crime’

Inter Milan has indirect ties to crime because of the illegal and de facto tolerated activities of its ultras, prosecutors said in their court papers served Monday as they arrested 19 ultra chieftains of Inter and AC Milan.

Inter “currently, alternating between negligent facilitation and subservience, has (indirectly) relationships with organized crime and stadium crime, unable to clearly break off such relationships”, said Milan prosecutors Paolo Storari and Sara Ombra in the request for precautionary custody for the ultras arrested yesterday.

For the Nerazzurri, as well as for the Rossoneri, both not under investigation, as clarified yesterday, a “preventive procedure” has been opened, without requests for judicial administration, but with a cross-examination with the companies’ lawyers.
