Inzaghi speaks to the prosecutor about Inter’s investigation and the request for 200 additional tickets

Inter coach Simone Inzaghi was today interviewed by prosecutors as part of the extensive investigation into the Nerazzurri and Milan echoes.

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the coach had his meeting with the authorities today and was treated as a witness with valuable information, so he himself is not under investigation.

This was due to a telephone tap which showed that arrested Nerazzurri ultra leader Marco Ferdico of Curva Nord had called Inzaghi requesting 200 extra tickets for the 2023 Champions League final against Manchester City.

Ferdico was one of nineteen ultras arrested during the anti-mafia operation last month.

Sky Sport Italia and news agency Ansa report that Inzaghi answered all questions put to him, in a meeting described as ‘long, relaxed and exhausting’.

The coach assured that Ferdico’s call was more of a “request than a threat” and was not unusual.

His motivation was to prevent the Curva from striking again, as there had been previous protests.

Among those expected to speak to prosecutors in the coming weeks are Inter vice-president Javier Zanetti, Milan captain Davide Calabria and Inter midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu.
