Famous Italian Writer Accuses Inter Milan of Being a ‘Mafia Club’
Roberto Saviano, the renowned Italian writer and journalist, has made serious accusations against Inter Milan, labeling them as a ‘mafia club.’
According to reports, Inter Milan suffered a last-minute defeat against Bologna in Serie A, with Orsolini scoring the decisive goal. This result not only delighted the home fans but also provoked a strong reaction from Roberto Saviano, who used the opportunity to attack Inter Milan.
Saviano, in an Instagram story, wrote: ‘A victory with a goal against the fans of one of the most mafia-like clubs in the country, against a club like Inter, which has the most obscure ties with mafia groups.’
His comments have reignited tensions between Napoli and Inter. Saviano, a staunch Napoli supporter, has further escalated the rivalry between the two clubs.
The Serie A title race is heating up, with Napoli and Inter both tied at 71 points with just five matches remaining. The final games of the season promise to be thrilling, with the possibility of a playoff deciding the champion.
Regarding the allegations, Saviano stated: ‘Inter has fans who closely resemble members of the ‘Ndrangheta.’ The ‘Ndrangheta is an Italian mafia organization based in Calabria. Months ago, Italian police arrested several ultras from Inter and AC Milan, allegedly linked to this group.
This police operation occurred weeks after the murder of ‘Beluco,’ a well-known figure among Inter ultras with ties to the ‘Ndrangheta. He was stabbed to death by Beretta, the leader of Inter’s ultras.
Saviano is a prominent figure in Italy’s fight against the mafia. He gained fame in 2006 with his best-selling novel, ‘Gomorrah,’ which exposed the activities of the Camorra mafia. The book sold over two million copies and reignited serious discussions about organized crime in Italy.
Due to death threats from the mafia, the Italian Ministry of the Interior has provided Saviano with permanent protection. Nevertheless, he continues to fearlessly expose mafia activities and remains a vocal critic of Inter, the arch-rival of his beloved Napoli.
