An investigation into an urban planning scandal in Milan could put Inter Milan and AC Milan’s plans to built a new San Siro in jeopardy.
This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Il Giorno, via FCInterNews.
Inter Milan and AC Milan are still working to try and build a new stadium in the San Siro area.
As Il Giorno notes, Milan Mayor had hoped to wrap up the approval of the sale of the land by July. That has not happened. However, the new deadline is in September.
In any event, the clubs and Sala want things to be set in stone well before November 10th, when an injunction against demolishing the iconic third tier of the San Siro comes into force.
However, in the meantime, there has been an emerging scandal regarding alleged urban planning corruption in Milan.
And as Il Giorno notes, this has led to five arrests so far.
And that has rocked the city council of Milan, particularly regarding matters of urban planning.
Naturally, this would create another obstacle for Inter and Milan to overcome if they’re to agree a deal to buy the San Siro land and begin construction.
