Milan Ultras Leader Arrested in Drug Bust

Published: 2024-11-18

Luca Lucci, the notorious leader of Milan's ultras, has been arrested again in a sweeping drug trafficking investigation.

Authorities have uncovered a massive operation involving over two tons of narcotics distributed between Lombardy and Calabria.

The operation, linked to the 'Ndrangheta's Barbaro clan, reportedly generated around 11 million euros.

Lucci, already known for his criminal ties, was among 20 individuals detained, with 15 placed in custody.

The investigation revealed the use of underground banking systems to launder the illicit profits.

This arrest marks another chapter in the ongoing crackdown on organized crime in Italy.
