Crotone are having a heck of a season. Second in Serie B, Juric's side sit in second place in the table, and showed everyone they were to stay on Sunday, when they completed a remarkable comeback to beat promotion rivals Bari in a 3-2 thriller at the San Nicola.

The Pitagorici may, however, find that the likes of Bari, Cagliari, Novara and Pescara aren’t their only obstacles to earning promotion to Serie A: according to La Stampa, magistrates in Catanzaro have asked for the club to be seized as part of an anti-mafia probe!

Crotone’s owner, Raffaele Vrenna, is suspected of having dealings with the local n’drangheta, along with his brother Giovanni. They’re both forbidden from leaving the country, and are being kept under special surveillance. The anti-mafia magistrates have asked the court to confiscate the club as an asset of the Vrenna brothers.

Squali fans will be holding their breath for a few weeks yet, when the Catanzaro Court will decide on the matter. Vrenna hopes that it will be turned down, as it was on January 16th.
