Extortion with the mafia method: Fabrizio Miccoli surrendered to the Rovigo prison
After the verdict of the Supreme Court, the former Juventus and Palermo striker has to serve 3 and a half years
Fabrizio Miccoli, former Juventus and Palermo player, surrendered himself in the Rovigo prison, after the final sentence of 3 years and 6 months of imprisonment for extortion aggravated by the mafia method.
The decision was made by the judges of the second criminal section of the Court of Cassation, confirming the January 2020 ruling of the Palermo Court of Appeal.
Miccoli was accused of having commissioned Mauro Lauricella, son of the boss of Kalsa Antonino known as "u scintilluni" (who is already serving a 7-year sentence in prison), the task of recovering 12 thousand euros from the entrepreneur Andrea Graffagnini, owner of the nightclub Paparazzi, on behalf of the former Palermo physiotherapist Giorgio Gasparini, who would have turned to Miccoli.
Born in 1979, originally from Nardò (Lecce), Miccoli has played over 200 matches in Serie A. With Palermo he has achieved 81 goals and is still the best scorer of all time with the rosanero shirt. With Juventus (2003-2004) he made 25 appearances and scored 8 goals. He also wore the Italian national team 10 times.
