Inter Milan vice-president Javier Zanetti testifies in ultra investigation

The Inter Milan vice-president has been questioned by prosecutors as part of an investigation into Neerazzurri ultras group Curva Nord.

This was reported by the Milanese newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that today is the day that the vice president has to testify in the investigation into Inter coach Simone Inzaghi yesterday.

This month, anti-mafia prosecutors began investigating the Inter and AC Milan ultras groups.

Authorities have already made nineteen arrests. These were prominent leading members of the Inter Ultras group Curva Nord and their Milanese counterparts, the Curva Nord.

The arrests concern alleged illegal activities around the Nerazzurri and Rossoneri match days.

Prosecutors also allege links between high-ranking members of the Nord and Sud and mafia organizations.

Inter Milan vice-president Javier Zanetti questioned in Ultras investigation

Prosecutors have questioned a number of key figures at Inter and Milan as part of their investigation.

Yesterday, researchers spoke with Inter-coach Simone Inzaghi.

The Nerazzurri coach reportedly admitted to requesting additional tickets on behalf of the ultras for the 2023 Champions League final, which pitted Inter against Manchester City, after a phone call.

Today, Inter Vice President Zanetti will address the researchers, the Gazzetta reports.

The vice-president is another important figure at Inter who has had interactions with the ultras.

Investigators want to determine the extent of how Inter and Milan facilitated alleged criminal activities by their ultras.

There are no active criminal cases against the Nerazzurri or the Rossoneri.

However, prosecutors are still investigating how negligence or inaction on the part of the clubs may have played a role in illegal activities.

In addition, investigators are investigating how ultras in the Nord and Sud may have used pressure to gain favors from the clubs.

The two clubs could still receive a penalty. Reports indicate that fines are a real possibility, although sporting sanctions are highly unlikely.
