The Milan Court of Appeal reduced the sentence of Luca Lucci, former leader of the Rossoneri's Curva Sud, to eight years in prison. Lucci, involved in the "Doppia Curva" investigation which examined organized support for Inter and Milan, was acquitted of the charge of being the instigator of the attempted murder of Enzo Anghinelli, who was wounded by gunshots in 2019. The sentence, however, remains for criminal association, with the overall sentence redetermined from ten to eight years compared to the first degree sentence.
The entire decision fits into the context of a maxi investigation coordinated by the Milan District Anti-Mafia Directorate, which in September 2024 led to numerous arrests among the exponents of the San Siro gangs. Inter, Milan and Lega Serie A have joined the proceedings as civil parties. For Lucci, the accusation had requested a total of thirteen years of imprisonment, including five years for the alleged role in the ambush of Anghinelli. The appeal ruling annulled that part, maintaining only the conviction for criminal conspiracy.
A key element of the sentence is the testimony of Daniele Cataldo, former deputy of the Curva Sud, who admitted having played a role in the murder but excluded any responsibility for Lucci. An agreed sentence of eight years was also confirmed for Cataldo. The sentence reduced Giuseppe Caminiti's sentence to four years and two months, while various criminal agreements were ratified for the other defendants.
With the reduction of the sentence, Lucci will still have to serve the eighth year of prison, but his conviction for the attempted murder was annulled. The case remains a point of reference for investigations into organized support in Italy, as teams and the League continue to monitor the legal and disciplinary implications for members of the curves.
