Loris Grancini, historian of the Viking group, the Juventus ultrà group, was sentenced to 5 and a half years in prison, in trial with two other fans (sentenced to 5 and 4 years) of the curve because he would have threatened the owner of a Milanese company of sporting events to force him "to get them tickets" with a "fast track" for the 'old lady' matches, including a Champions League match between Juve and Real Madrid in 2015. The sixth criminal section decided after the investigation by the prosecutor of Milan Enrico Pavone.
The judges of the Milan Sixth Criminal went beyond the requests of the Public Prosecutor (he had asked 4 years for Grancini) condemning all three defendants for all the disputed charges. According to the investigations, Grancini - defended by lawyers Luca Ricci and Jacopo Cappetta and arrested in December 2017 for execution penalty to serve 13 years and 11 months including a conviction for attempted murder - entered the ticket sales point, together with Christian Mauriello ( sentenced to 5 years) and Christian Fasoli (sentenced to 4 years), he would have said: "Handsome tall here, do you know how easily he burns?" For the other two defendants, defended by the lawyer Marco Ventura, the prosecutor had asked 2 years (Fasoli) and 2 years and 2 months (Mauriello) with the acquittal for both of them by a charge.
Grancini was accused of four episodes of attempted extortion. According to the investigation, the first intimidation procedure against the store owner took place at the end of April 2015 for the Juve-Real Madrid Champions League match, after the alleged victim of the attempted extortion had to cancel, for technical reasons, the issue of 250 tickets. The ultras would have entered the room to "get" from the man "the tickets that had been wrongly printed" and then canceled. In that case Grancini, according to the prosecutor, allegedly stated referring to the store: "do you know how to burn easily?"
In May 2017, then, always Grancini would have presented himself in the store to ask for the "issue" of tickets for the Juve-Crotone match for "certain Calabrian characters of Corsico" and in front of the owner's refusal he would have replied: "See to make them for me recover, cop of m .... ". Also in May two years ago, finally, the ultras would have tried to recover tickets for the Roma-Juve match with Grancini, which at the point of sale would also have mimed "the gesture of loading a firearm".
