CATANIA – The Catania police commissioner issued four daspo measures (ban on access to sporting events) against as many Etna fans after last Tuesday’s match between Catania and Avellino at the Massimino stadium (Serie C play-off). Three were punished due to their behavior during the pre-filtering operations: in order to escape control, they railed and threatened both the security staff and the police.
One of the three, who among other things had already served two previous sentences, did not have identity documents and when he was asked to deposit a lighter that could not be brought inside he threw it at the officer who was trying to convince him . He was therefore reported and subjected to a new eight-year ban, with the obligation to report to a police office before, during and after matches in which Catania will be involved. The other two fans, in addition to having been reported by Digos, will not be able to attend sporting events for two years. Same period for the fourth official, who at the end of the match crossed the fence, escaping the control of the security staff and invaded the pitch in an attempt to reach the players heading towards the changing rooms. Attempt interrupted by the intervention of Digos agents.
