ROME (Reuters) -Two brothers from a notorious Italian soccer hooligan group, Lazio's "Irriducibili", have been arrested after trying to illegally obtain public works contracts for next year's Winter Olympics, Italian prosecutors said on Wednesday.
The men, originally from Rome, sought to profit from the Olympics after establishing mafia-style control over drug dealing and nightlife activities in the Alpine resort of Cortina, Venice prosecutors said in a statement.
