A few days after violent assaults in Bergamo, which led to the death of a DEA supporter, the Minister of Italian Sports Andrea Abodi spoke about the danger of the rise of crime in the Italian stadiums, and more generally within sports clubs. “We have to continue the work of the police to continue the criminal groups that introduce themselves in football by wearing jerseys that they do not have the right to wear. We must ensure that members do not have any relationships, whether suitable or not, with criminal groups that use the land, which must remain a carefree place of encouragement ”said the transalpine politician.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonio Tajani, also firmly condemned what happened: “The day before yesterday evening, an Atalanta supporter was stabbed to death by an Inter supporter: they are not supporters, because the one who kills someone else for a team … One is a victim, the other is a criminal.” After the match interruptions in Saint-Etienne and Barcelona during a meeting of the Espanyol following projectiles launched on the field, convictions are now gaining inexcusable magnitude.
