Inter Milan & AC Milan Won’t Receive Sporting Punishment In Ultras Scandal – Fines At Most Like Juventus In 2017 | OneFootball

Inter Milan and AC Milan are not at risk of a sporting punishment in the latest scandal involving their ultras.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

They report that the clubs could however receive a fine as in the case of Juventus in 2017.

Inter and Milan’s ultras groups, the Curva Nord and the Curva Sud respectively, are at the centre of yet another scandal.

Earlier this week, prosecutors made nineteen arrests of members of the two groups.

These arrests concerned alleged illegal ticket-selling. There are also allegations of ties between members of the two clubs’ ultras groups and mafia organizations.

Naturally, the individuals involved risk significant legal punishment.

But then there is the question of what the consequences might be for Inter and Milan.

The Nerzzurri and the Rossoneri have no direct involvement with their respective ultras groups. However, they could still face consequences if their actions are found to have facilitated the ultras’ illegal activities.

No Risk Of Sporting Punishment For Inter & AC Milan In Ultras Case – Could Receive Fine

It has already been established that Inter and Milan are not being investigated for any criminal activities.

There is an active investigation into the clubs. But this is to determine whether they have taken sufficient measures to sever ties with the ultras.

There is, however, the question of whether or not the two clubs could receive sporting punishment.

The Nerazzurri and the Rossoneri could fear the possibility of points deductions or other sanctions.

But according to the Gazzetta, that will not be the case.

There is a particular precedent in this respect.

In 2017, there was a similar scandal involving ultras of Inter and Milan’s Serie A rivals Juventus.

In that case, the prosecutors decided on a fine of €600,000 for the Bianconeri. Additionally, the Curva Sud section of the Allianz Stadium also experienced closure for one match.

There would certainly be a possibility that Inter and Milan face a similar punishment.

But as far as sporting sanction, the Gazzetta report that there would be no chance of this.
