Three tons of hashish, 255 kilos of marijuana and 53 kilos of cocaine. This is the outcome of the investigation that led to a further precautionary custody order in prison for Luca Lucci, leader of the Milan ultras, along with seven other people. The investigation, conducted by the Milan Flying Squad and coordinated by prosecutors Leonardo Lesti and Rosario Ferracane, dismantled an alleged association dedicated to international drug trafficking active between June 2020 and March 2021.
The criminal association, according to investigators, managed the importation of drugs into Italy from Spain and Morocco, using helicopters, truckers and warehouses located abroad. Lucci, nicknamed "belvaitalia" in encrypted chats, it is considered the "leader, promoter and financier" of the organization.
This new ordinance represents Lucci's fourth in just two and a half months.

In addition to Lucci, the investigating judge Fabrizio Filice has signed the custody order for other ultras already involved in the operation Double CurveAmong them were Daniele Cataldo, known as "nano," considered a close collaborator of Lucci, and Antonio Rosario Trimboli ("malverde") and Rosario Calabria ("orso" or "orsotto"), both involved in the sale of the drugs.
Among those wanted is an Albanian, nicknamed "Don Boni," who operated from Spain as co-manager of the trafficking operation with Lucci. Also under investigation is Roberta Grassi, believed to be the AC Milan fans' "accountant," already under house arrest for drug charges and nicknamed "Blonde," who handled the money collection.
The investigation was based on a meticulous analysis of the suspects' communications via encrypted platforms, particularly the "SkyEcc" system, which allowed the group's network and activities to be reconstructed. Concurrent with the arrests of the eight suspects, 13 searches were carried out on the premises of other suspects.
