Irish-linked Italian Serie B club placed under court control for mafia infiltration

People tied to the Camorra's D'Alessandro clan controlled club activities including ticketing, catering, cleaning, healthcare and even, until last year, travel services for the first team, prosecutors said

Judicial administration allows the club to continue its sporting activities, but places it under the supervision of court-appointed administrators.

Italian second-tier soccer club SS Juve Stabia, which is owned by a Dublin-headquartered holding company, has been placed under judicial administration for alleged mafia infiltration, Italian prosecutors and police said on Tuesday.

Juve Stabia are based in Castellammare di Stabia, close to the city of Naples where Italy's Camorra crime group has its roots. The team currently sits in seventh spot in the Serie B league.
