Both Milan and Inter could face significant fines and, in the worst case, possible disqualification from Serie A, depending on a FIGC investigation into the arrest of several ultras linked to the two clubs on Monday morning, according to the latest updates .

Reports on Monday morning confirmed that 19 people, including several ultras from Inter and Milan, had been arrested. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, sixteen have been jailed and another three have been placed under house arrest.

The investigation began in early September following the murder of Antonio Bellocco, a leading member of Inter’s Curva Nord group, which resulted in the arrest of fellow Nerazzurri ultra Andrea Beretta.

Some of the alleged crimes include the extortion of tickets and the sale of drinks, as well as other cases of organized crime and mafia-related methods in and around San Siro.

What risks could Milan and Inter face after the FIGC investigation

According to updates from La Repubblica and Calciomercato.com, FIGC prosecutor Giuseppe Chine has requested access to some of the documents that led to the arrest of the ultras from Milan’s federal prosecutor’s office.

The following reports suggest that the FIGC is looking to investigate any possible involvement by Milan or Inter, which could fall under the governing body’s jurisdiction.

If Milan or Inter are found to have business or agreements with unauthorized groups, they risk a fine of €20,000 and in the most extreme scenario they could be expelled from the competition, although that could also come in the form of a conditional suspension . sentence.
