Attempted 2 million extortion, 'pay or we'll kill you'

(ANSA) - MILAN, JUN 24 - They would have made him "catch a glimpse of the kick of a gun" and they would have also uttered phrases such as "you must do what we tell you, otherwise we will kill you", in addition to sending him messages like this: "do it well it suits everyone ".

These are just some of the alleged threats addressed to the entrepreneur Enzo Costa, owner of Ferco srl which deals with cleaning services, especially in health contracts, the victim of an alleged attempted extortion.

   Investigation in which two days ago (the news was published today) the Milan mobile squad arrested three people: Ivan Turola, Gerardo Toto and Ezio Carnago.

    An alleged extortion of over 2 million euros for which Vittorio Boiocchi, the historic ultra-leader of the Inter team, is also being investigated (not arrested).

Enzo Costa, among other things, in 2014 was involved in a tranched of the now well-known Milanese investigation on the 'dome for tenders Expo' and immediately collaborated with the investigators.

    As emerges from the precautionary custody order signed by the investigating judge Ileana Ramundo, at the request of the prosecutor Carlo Scalas, the "extortion claim" brought forward by the group (five suspects for attempted extortion) would be consummated "in three'round '", ie with three threatening 'visits', between March, April and June 2021, on the entrepreneur's workplaces.

And the driving force behind that request for money lay in the fact that Turolar was claiming that he had won Ferco di Costa a fee on cleaning services in Sicily.

He had been arrested for bribery and auction disruption in May 2020 in an investigation by the IPM of Palermo, in which he was indicated as the "referent" of Ferco.
