The scope of action is broad, according to the prosecutors, and includes everything from parking spaces to street sellers to pressure on catering. However, the real business is ticketing. The real money was made there by the owners of the Inter and Milan Curves. From coupons obtained by clubs and resold at higher prices to "recycled" cards, passing through the most traditional of methods, namely multiple entries to the turnstiles. All with the complacency, so to speak, of some steward who, under the orders of this or that ultras leader, allowed fans to enter the Meazza without tickets. The management of stadium entries is central because it generates easy money for ultras (hardcore fan groups) and, overall, it often goes, or used to go, unnoticed. The earnings varied depending on the importance of the match or the seating area, but they were still significant. The money was immediately available through specific PostePay cards. According to investigations, some of those arrested, likely exaggerating, spoke of millions of euros. While it's impossible to quantify, even these "rumors" give an idea of the substantial business involved. But how did people enter the stadium illegally? Methods ranged from "double entries" — multiple people passing through the same turnstile — to "gatecrashers" sneaking into the stands during the transport of banners and displays, or even the exchange of passes. All of this was overseen by individuals designated for this task: Debora Turiello, currently under house arrest, handled the North section, while Roberta Grassi, who is not under investigation, managed the South. The remaining admissions were secured with the help of the stewards, whether voluntary or not. Some collaborated, while others were threatened or even beaten into following the ultras' regulations. Often, ultras would station themselves next to stewards, pointing out who should pass without any issues or checks.
