Antonio Conte in an Ansa archive photo
MILAN – Fear for Inter coach Antonio Conte . Il Corriere della Sera and Il Giorno speak of threats and an envelope with a bullet directed against the technician. Immediately after the complaint an investigation was also opened and supervision was arranged. But his wife Elisabetta Muscarello , through his social profiles denies.
"For the record: the story of the bullet is a hoax! And anyway in Italy we are put really bad as a communication, "he wrote. Later it was the Nerazzurri club that clarified: "Antonio Conte did not personally receive any threatening letters and, as a result, he did not go in person to file a complaint. It was the club that received a letter and, as is the practice in this kind of situation, it contacted the competent authorities ".
The mystery hovers over the story, also because the intimidation, the Corriere always reports, would have triggered a dynamic vigilance, that is a low level of protection. Police and carabinieri patrols should pass on the street more frequently under Conte's house in Milan, and around Inter's offices. At the moment the prevailing hypothesis would be "the action of a mythomaniac".
The mayor of Milan, Beppe Sala, also said he was "surprised". Of the question "I knew nothing about it; I don't even know why today in the end it seems so easy that demonstrations of hatred turn to individuals even surprisingly, "he told reporters on the sidelines of breakfast with the mayor. "Solidarity in these cases is by definition – he added – I can't even imagine why a football coach could be threatened. "I will write to him," he concluded.
