Milan, July 6 (LaPresse) – Federico Dimarco, Inter and Italy defender and midfielder, “was ready to give three diamond rings” to ’Ndrangheta member Antonio Bellocco and Inter ultras leaders Andrea Beretta (the killer of Bellocco himself on September 4, 2024, in Cernusco sul Naviglio) and Marco Ferdico. This was recounted by Ferdico himself to Milan prosecutors Paolo Storari and Stefano Ammendola on May 30, 2026, in the first statement in which he began cooperating with the District Anti-Mafia Directorate as part of the ‘Double Curve’ investigation and the murder of Vittorio Boiocchi. Three days earlier, on May 27, Ferdico had been questioned as a defendant by the Milan Assize Court in the trial for the aggravated premeditated murder of former Curva Nord leader Boiocchi, in which he admitted taking part in planning and managing the attack and criticised the alleged “memory” lapses of the man accused of ordering the murder, Beretta, the first ‘pentito’ in the investigation into organised football supporters in Milan. “I carried out an action for Andrea Beretta, but Boiocchi was right about him,” Ferdico said, claiming he had only later discovered money that had been taken from the management of the Curva and the ultras and from the sale of Inter merchandise. “I did something like that for a person who was in the wrong,” he added. “Beretta was supposed to keep the shop under his wing and was willing to kill and make up that someone had to be killed. What he did and what I did, we did while being in the wrong.” Speaking to prosecutors about his closeness to Inter players and managers, the 41-year-old returned to his “relationship with player Dimarco”. “On the occasion of the second-star Scudetto, he had promised me and Beretta a ring with a diamond.” He specified that he had personally gone to “Andrea Opi”, Dimarco’s manager, asking for “a gift” for the Curva. “He replied that he was ready to give me, Bellocco and Beretta three diamond rings, which, after all, he had given as a gift to the whole team.” According to Ferdico’s account, the sports agent pointed out that the left-back “was complaining” because “he wanted a new chant for himself”. “He complained that while the one made for Calhanoglu (the Turkish midfielder, ed.) was particularly nice, his was less so.”
