Ex-Milan Ultras Leader Luca Lucci Sentenced to 18 Years, 8 Months for International Drug Trafficking

The ruling reinforces the Doppia Curva case that targeted narcotics dealing tied to organized fan groups.

Overview

  • Lucci, sentenced Friday in Milan in a fast-track proceeding, received 18 years and 8 months for leading an international drug ring.
  • Prosecutors said the group moved about three tonnes of hashish, 255 kilograms of marijuana, and 53 kilograms of cocaine between June 2020 and March 2021.
  • Judge Giulia Masci largely granted the requests of anti-mafia prosecutors Leonardo Lesti and Rosario Ferracane.
  • Among 23 defendants, the next highest term was 13 years and 6 months for ally Fatjon Gjonaj, while many others received up to three years.
  • The ruling builds on the Doppia Curva probe into organized fan groups at San Siro, where Lucci was separately sentenced in June to 10 years for ordering a 2019 attempted murder.
