The most active Milan "Inter" fans mourn. Before last night's "Serie A" match, the leader of the ultras group Vittorio Boiocchi was shot.

The 69-year-old Italian was killed on the streets of Milan near his home. It is reported that two men on a scooter fired a series of five shots, after which the man did not survive.

According to the media, this happened about an hour before the match against Genoa's "Sampdoria" club - V. Boiocchi and other "Inter" fans were discussing the details of their upcoming appearance in the stands.

However, the Italian himself had lost the permission to attend Milan's home matches and he led the fans only outside the stadium.

It is said that V. Boiocchi was a very colorful personality - a fan who spent even 26 years of his life in prison. In the past, he had been involved in robberies of shops and banks, was implicated in the murder of the "Napoli" fan Daniele Belardinelli and in cases of cocaine trafficking.

The latest "endeavor" of the Italian was an attempted kidnapping of a businessman in 2021, demanding a ransom of 2 million euros.
