FC Crotone Placed Under 12-Month Judicial Administration Over 'Ndrangheta Influence

The anti-mafia measure aims to keep the club operating under court oversight to break criminal control of matchday management.

Overview

  • The Tribunale di Catanzaro ordered a year of judicial administration after concluding organized crime had deeply conditioned the club’s activities.
  • Investigators cited the Glicine-Acheronte probe, drawing on police and Carabinieri ROS work and state-witness testimony indicating a decade of intimidation.
  • Court findings say control was especially entrenched in security and stadium-entry operations at the Stadio Ezio Scida.
  • Authorities began notifying 17 DASPO "fuori contesto" bans issued by the Questore to bar individuals linked to criminal activity from sporting events.
  • The Vrenna family’s club said through its lawyer it will cooperate with the court-appointed administrators, while the FIGC prosecutor moves to acquire the case files.
