😨Reuters: Serie Crotone has been supervised for one year due to infiltration by the mafia

According to Reuters, the Serie C team Crotone was supervised for one year because they were found to be infiltrated by the mafia by the police. According to reports, Crotone was under judicial supervision for one year because the police found enough evidence that the team was infiltrated by the Mafia.

Crotone is located in the southern part of the Calabria region and is the birthplace of the powerful "Glorious Society" mafia. Currently, Crotone ranks eighth in Group C of the Serie C and has five points in four games. Nearly ten years ago, they competed in Serie A in 2016-2018, and they were also Serie A teams in 2020-21. The ruling on Tuesday means the club will continue to carry out sports activities but will be subject to supervision by the court-appointed administrators. The club is not investigated.

Crotone Football Club said in a statement: "Crotone Football Club will actively cooperate with the judicial administrator appointed by the court to continue to operate in a manner that best suits the overall interests of the club, fans and sports." Crotone said that the court's judgment "has no hinted at all that the club, its shareholders, managers or partners have committed conspiracy or condonies."

The Catanzaro City Attorney's Office said in a statement that Crotone had been "directly or at least indirectly intimidated and suppressed by local "Glorious Society" gang members" over the past decade. The

prosecutors said that local mafia had penetrated into the club's security and ticketing business, and the judicial administration system was expected to help Crotone's economic activities return to legal track.
