Inter ultras took down their banners and left the stadium at half-time during the match against Sampdoria, as news came through their former leader had been killed in an ambush.
The Nerazzurri were 2-0 up at the break with goals from Stefan de Vrij and Nicolò Barella.
However, there was a muted atmosphere and many of the organised ultras groups in the Curva Nord pulled in their banners and walked out of San Siro at half-time.
This was when news filtered through that Vittorio Boiocchi, an historic leader of the ultras movement in the Curva Nord, had been shot dead in an ambush outside his house in the outskirts of Milan.
Boiocchi was 69 years old and had a very long rap sheet of previous criminal activities, spending 26 years of his life in prison for among other things drug trafficking, theft and kidnap.
The Inter ultras walked out and withdrew their flags and banners as a mark of respect for the deceased.
Respect for the onesti…
No disrespect for the deceased. But this is a reason that Calcio is looked down upon. The ultras are of a past era. Full of thugs and criminals. It doesn’t make sense the clubs still cater to them.
Avanti ragazzi Forza inter
Rip Boiocci
light yrs behind
Respect for a drug trafficking thief and kidnapper … makes sense.
RIP brother. Whoever fight for Inter is Inter Family. God Bless You
No comment!
Say goodnight to the bad guy!
Wow, a headline like this can only make a true calcio fan feel queasy.
‘ . . . . had a very long rap sheet of previous criminal activities, spending 26 years of his life in prison for among other things drug trafficking, theft and kidnap’
There is nothing to respect there. Football needs to move on in Serie A.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. This man is nothing to be worshipped.

RIP from Sheffield United 🏴⚔️
Disgusting criminals controlling these teams.
