ROME — Italian police have arrested 19 people accused of criminal ties with the powerful 'Ndrangheta mafia group. The move decimated the fan clubs backing Serie A teams Inter Milan and AC Milan. Prosecutors said at a press conference that possible charges against those detailed include criminal association, with the use of "mafia methods," extortion, assault and other serious offenses. According to the wide investigation, the criminal ring was linked to 'Ndrangheta – the Italian mafia organization that has emerged in recent years as one of the most powerful crime syndicates in the world, rivaling the better-known Sicilian mob.
