"Meetings" with Inter players, such as Hakan Calhanoglu, Nicolò Barella and Juan Cuadrado , now ex. The leader of the Inter ultras Marco Ferdico, in prison since yesterday, talks about it in wiretaps , as shown by the request for precautionary measures by prosecutors Storari and Ombra, in the Police and Gdf investigation. "Even", writes the Prosecutor's Office, in a conversation on 26 May 2023 with Marco Materazzi, Ferdico says "he met Calhanoglu" and "Barella, to talk about the critical issues that arose from the Champions League Final ticket affair" and he would have "even learned the complaints of the Turkish player about the company's behavior" .

In the chapter of the investigation regarding "relations with FC Internazionale" - where the cases, already emerged yesterday, of alleged pressure on some Inter executives are reported, but also on the coach Simone Inzaghi and the former Inter player Milan Skriniar - the prosecutors also refer to other players. Players who, as well as the club's executives and managers, are not under investigation.

Calhanoglu, they write, "according to Ferdico's statements, was supposed to spend, in the month of August" of 2023 "an evening at dinner with his family, together with that of Bellocco Antonio", heir of the homonymous 'ndrangheta clan, in the management of the curve with Ferdico and Andrea Beretta and killed by the latter less than a month ago.

On August 19, 2023, "a conversation of Ferdico was intercepted, in which while addressing" an unidentified person he said: "Now we go out to eat on Monday or Tuesday with Calhanoglu, with the families!". In several circumstances, it is still written, "as emerged from other conversations" it was understood "that Ferdico would have met the Turkish footballer receiving official shirts as a gift which were then delivered to Bellocco".

Furthermore, on August 22, 2023, the ultras leader "informed Bellocco of a meeting with Calhanoglu and the Colombian footballer of Inter Cuadrado", which "should have been finalized on August 24". Then, the phone call with Materazzi in which he talks about alleged meetings with the Turkish footballer and Barella on the issue of the tickets that the curve was demanding from the club for the final in Istanbul: the ultras leaders obtained 1500 as they asked.

Materazzi, not under investigation, the prosecutors write, is "a man still considered very close to the Inter club and at the same time linked to members of the Curva Nord". Furthermore, "the former footballer's closeness to the board is also demonstrated by his presence at the Inter fans' meeting on 14 September 2023, an occasion in which there was an advertisement for the beer marketed by Materazzi and the promise (documented during a telephone interception) by Ferdico (and Beretta) to commit to ensuring that, in the future, the exclusive sale of this drink would materialize in the eventual next Inter stadium".
