The Milan preliminary investigations judge (GIP), Francesca Ballesi, accepting the request of anti-mafia prosecutors Paolo Storari and Stefano Ammendola, has ordered immediate trial for five people accused of the murder of Vittorio Boiocchi, the historic leader of Inter’s ultras, who was killed on October 29, 2022, outside his home in Milan.

Ultras Case, Boiocchi Murder, Beretta and Ferdico on Trial: Hearings Begin December 10

Among the main defendants are Andrea Beretta and Marco Ferdico, both former leaders of Inter’s Curva Nord. These are two prominent figures in the organized Nerazzurri fanbase, who became central to the investigation that reconstructed the deadly ambush which cost Boiocchi his life.

The trial will officially open on December 10, 2025, before the Milan Court of Assizes.

From Investigations to Confessions: The Cold Case Solved

For months, Boiocchi’s murder remained a cold case, with few clues and no clear suspects. The breakthrough came with an investigative lead that resulted in six arrests.

Beretta’s role was decisive; after being imprisoned a year ago, he chose to cooperate with the authorities. The former ultra leader confessed to being the mastermind behind the murder, also indicating the responsibilities of the others involved.

Further admissions, including that of Ferdico, were later added to his revelations, strengthening the prosecution’s case.

The Impact of the Trial on the Ultras World

The legal proceedings set to begin in December not only represent a pursuit of justice for Boiocchi’s murder, but also mark a delicate turning point in the recent history of the organized Nerazzurri supporters. The murder, carried out with gunshots just steps from the stadium where Curva Nord had been a protagonist for decades, brought to light internal dynamics and power struggles that will now be examined in court.
