Juventus have previously handed the tickets to the mafiafolkene, knowing that they would be sold to a fierce overpriced on the black market.

the Agnellis problem at the time was, that he should have given permission for Juventus tickets sold and season tickets at cost price to groups of Ultras, which scored the box to sell them on to ripping me off.
The quid pro quo was that the Ultra-groups to make sure that there was not the memphis riots broke out in the stands
Agnelli admitted in 2017, that he had met with the Ultra-groups. He would ensure that they did not feel discriminated against, and he would have their word that they would not disturb the public peace.
He also acknowledged that he had met the Ultra-leader, Rocco Dominello in the fan-connections. But Agnelli was in due to his own admission, not aware that Dominello belonged to Ndranghetaen.
This time, Juventus, as mentioned, even turned to the police. It has provisionally resulted in the 12 arrests, but the prosecutor in Turin says that a further 37 people are under investigation. All are believed to be connected to the Ndrangheta-the mafia.
The detainees are accused of being part of a criminal organization as well as extortion, money laundering and violence.

Agnelli has since also someone needs to keep distance to the mafia. He is about to make its mark as one of the big names in international football.
In the last week, he was re-elected as president of the association of european clubs (ECA). He also sits in the UEFA’s executive committee, and he is one of the leading advocates for a revolution of the european club competitions.
He has absolutely no need of once again being linked with the mafia.
