Six Arrested In Connection With Murder Of Inter Milan Ultra

Six people were arrested on Friday in connection with the murder of a notorious Inter Milan fan, who was shot dead over two years ago during a power struggle among Italys hardcore ultra supporters, the public prosecutor's office in Milan confirmed.

Vittorio Boiocchi, regarded as one of the historic leaders of Inter's ultras and a career criminal, was gunned down near his home on the outskirts of Milan in October 2022, at the age of 69.

Authorities claim that the six individuals arrested were responsible as the promotors, instigators, and executors of Boiocchi's murder, which was allegedly linked to a violent battle for control of the lucrative matchday activities managed by Inter's ultra groups.

Two men, aged 41 and 30, are accused of carrying out the hit. They have been named as Pietro Andrea Simoncini and Daniel DAlessandro. Simoncini was arrested in Calabria, a region in southern Italy, while DAlessandro was apprehended in Bulgaria.

Simoncini is reportedly linked to an Ndrangheta mafia family from Vibo Valentia in Calabria.
