Judge Publishes 'Doppia Curva' Sentencing Reasons, Detailing Mafia Protection and Illicit Revenues at San Siro

The published reasoning portrays the two curves as structured criminal operations, pairing mafia protection in the North with exclusive profit in the South.

Overview

  • The Milan GUP Rossana Mongiardo filed nearly 300 pages explaining the June 17 abbreviated‑trial verdicts that imposed almost 90 years in prison on 16 defendants.
  • Leaders Andrea Beretta (Inter) and Luca Lucci (Milan) each received 10 years, with Beretta recognized as a cooperating witness for his contributions to investigators.
  • The court found Curva Sud generated over €100,000 a year through illicit schemes such as ticket resales, enforced by intimidation and violence to retain control.
  • Curva Nord was described as a cover for illegal business under a mafia‑style protection relationship backed by the Bellocco ’ndrangheta clan.
  • The motivations cite recognized crimes including the 2024 murder of Antonio Bellocco and an earlier attempted murder, and note Inter, Milan, and Serie A as civil parties, with Inter officials operating in a state of subservience though not charged; other sentences include 10 years for Daniele Cataldo, eight for Marco Ferdico, and two (suspended) for Debora Turiello.
