April 19 – 9.02pm – MILAN
Tension outside Barbera in Palermo where the match between the Rosanero and league leaders Parma is underway: around 200 hooded Palermo fans threw bottles at the police between via Croce Rossa and via del Carabiniere. A car was set on fire. There is a large deployment of police forces who are trying to thwart the fans. According to an initial reconstruction, the Rosanero ultras would have attempted to force the blockade of the police to enter the away sector where, together with the Parma supporters, there would also be some fans of Catania, the home team’s historic rival.
