Italian Police Probe San Siro Land Sale for Suspected Bid-Rigging

The case tests whether Milan officials bent stadium fast-track rules to benefit private builders.

Overview

  • Financial police searched Milan City Hall offices and related companies and placed nine people under investigation.
  • Those named include ex-Inter CEO Alessandro Antonello, Milan city director-general Christian Malangone, and Sport Life City president Giuseppe Bonomi.
  • Investigators are scrutinizing the September approval that transferred 28 hectares at the San Siro site to Inter and AC Milan for €197 million.
  • Prosecutors are examining claims that a law meant to speed stadium projects was used to steer advantages to private interests.
  • The probe links to a broader Milan urban-planning case that previously involved ex-official Giancarlo Tancredi and could slow or reshape the clubs’ stadium plan for fans and nearby residents.
