Inter Milan caught up in Mafia row

By Malcolm Moore

With only days to go until a nail-biting end to this year's Serie A, Inter Milan found itself caught up in a Mafia scandal.

Inter is leading the league by one point over Roma going into the last game, but the club has had a clamorous end to the season after a series of faltering performances and dressing room clashes.

Yesterday, the club's tailor, Domenico Brescia, 55, was revealed to be a convicted murderer who is close to the Crisafulli Mafia clan.

Brescia is also thought by police to be a cocaine dealer, and his conversations with several Inter players and Roberto Mancini, the manager, were recorded by investigators.

The transcripts of over 2,000 phone calls between Brescia and Mancini, Marco Materazzi, Sinisa Mihajlovic and other members of the club were leaked. The vast majority of the phone calls were mundane and concerned tickets to matches, or alterations to clothes.

However, in one call Mr Mancini is recorded discussing Daniele Bizzozzero, a Mafioso associate of Brescia's who had fled to Monte Carlo and then Paris in a bid to escape the police.

"What happened to him," Mr Mancini is heard asking. "How was he arrested? I told him to stay [in Paris] and wait for a pardon." Brescia then said that Bizzozzero was stupid, to which Mr Mancini replied: "He has always behaved well with me."

Questions were immediately raised about why Mr Mancini was discussing the fate of a criminal, and why he advised him to remain on the run. In other phone calls, Mr Mancini demanded "two coathangers" urgently and another Inter employee referred mysteriously to "packs of stuff" left in Brescia's car.

The leak of the documents at such a sensitive time provoked a storm of outrage among Inter's fans, who insisted that the media was trying to unsettle the team.

In recent days, Luis Figo has been targeted by protestors after he allegedly ran over an unlucky black cat on purpose.


Mr Mancini, meanwhile, has been undermined by the club's owner, Massimo Moratti, and is expected to leave Inter at the end of the season, with Jose Mourinho arriving as his replacement.
