Inter "currently, alternating between culpable facilitation and subservience, maintains (indirectly) relationships with organised crime and stadium crime, incapable of clearly interrupting such relationships".
This is what the prosecutors of Milan Paolo Storari and Sara Ombra wrote in the request for precautionary custody for the ultras arrested yesterday . For the Nerazzurri club, as well as for Milan, 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 lawyers of the companies.
In these hours the investigators will begin to listen to the suspects. Among them Andrea Beretta, former leader of the Curva Nord, among the recipients of yesterday's order that decapitated the ultra leaders of Inter and Milan.
"There was a transparent relationship with the club. They were aware of the problems and we always interfaced with those responsible for security and relations with the fans to resolve all the issues. No one ever pressured or threatened. When we needed more tickets we asked for them, when we had to organize trips we turned to them", said Beretta – Ansa reports – speaking today with his defense attorney, Mirko Perlino, during a meeting in prison.
Beretta, also in prison for the murder of Antonio Bellocco, is among those who are being charged, among other things, with criminal association with the aggravating circumstance of having facilitated the 'ndrangheta and should be the first on the list of those arrested who, starting tomorrow, will be questioned by the investigating judge Domenico Santoro.
This morning, still speaking with the lawyer, he also explained his version of the extra tickets requested from the club for the Champions League final in Istanbul: "We had made an initial request but we were offered less than half. So to avoid leaving half the fans at home we said 'nobody is going'. Then the club, in agreement with the Police Headquarters, managed to obtain the 1,500 tickets".
Furthermore, as explained by the lawyer Perlino, «also from the investigation activity it emerged that my client had no relationship with members of the Calabrian families. He interfaced only with Marco Ferdico, called the 'front man'», and who replaced him due to the notification of a Daspo for 10 years.
