Earlier this year, a group of foreign investors were apparently ready to launch a takeover, and former great Giorgio Chinaglia appeared to be the front man for this group of businessmen.
But a real offer never materialized, and in October, dramatically, Chinaglia and other eight men were hit by an arrest warrant for extortion.
It turned out four of the arrested were the leaders of a Ultras group called Irriducibili, and the reasons behind the physical threats to Lotito and his family were clear and familiar.
It was not truly a matter of 'lazialità' - the elements of true Lazio fanship and the lack of former heroes in the current club set-up - which were brought up by that fan who approached Lotito outside the stadium in Parma, but a matter of money, as Lotito had apparently revoked the absurd privileges Ultras in the Curva Nord, the North End, had enjoyed under previous regimes.
These include heavy subsidies, said to be up to 25,000 euros each time, for buying and preparing banners and fireworks and, even more maddeningly, control over the club's merchandising and marketing.
Tricky territory, here.
It is well known, almost accepted in the lawless world of Italian soccer, that many clubs distribute money to hardcore fans group as a means of granting support and loyalty, a maddeningly amoral practice that makes the clubs' statements and protests whenever trouble occurs particularly hollow-sounding and hypocrite
“Kam hit this tight end SO HARD, I swear I saw that TE’s soul leave Qwest Field right on that 35 yard line.”
