Two individuals from the Lazio football hooligan group, Irriducibili, have been detained on charges related to attempting to unlawfully acquire public works contracts for the Winter Olympics scheduled for February 6-22, 2026, cohosted by Cortina and Milan, Italy.

The accused, originating from Rome, allegedly sought to capitalize on these contracts after establishing control over drug distribution and nightlife operations in the Cortina area, according to a statement from Venice prosecutors.

Prosecutors indicate that the suspects claimed affiliations with prominent figures in the criminal world of Rome, linking themselves to the late leader of the Irriducibili, Fabrizio Piscitelli, who was assassinated in 2019.

Additionally, individuals owing drug-related debts were purportedly subjected to threats of violence.

The charges include acts of intimidation against business competitors, such as an incident where a nightlife event organizer was reportedly abducted, assaulted, and threatened at gunpoint. Additionally, individuals owing drug-related debts were purportedly subjected to threats of violence.

In 2022, the suspects are alleged to have approached a city government official in Cortina, proposing electoral support, which was declined. Subsequently, they allegedly issued threats to secure Olympic-related contracts.

Currently, one of the brothers is in pre-trial detention, while the other is under house arrest. Both face charges of extortion with aggravating circumstances linked to Mafia-style operations. Five additional suspects are implicated in similar charges but have not been detained.
