A parent slaps the race director, 500 euro fine for Carpaneto Chero. It happened at the Poggioli Tournament reserved for provincial Under 19s: upon leaving the pitch after the match between Gotico Garibaldina and Carpaneto Chero, which ended 7-2 for the former, a spectator hit the match director. Not being able to disqualify the perpetrator of the gesture, as he is not a member, the Sports Judge decided to impose the sanction on the club of which the parent is a fan, explaining that “the clubs are also responsible for the actions and behavior of their supporters”.
This is the official press release
The Sports Judge, having read the official documents, notes the following. At the end of the Gotico Garibaldina – Carpaneto Chero 1922 match, a tournament match that ended with a score of 7-2, the match director left the playing area to go to the grandstand area. As soon as he left the playing area, an unidentified man stood in front of him and hit him in the face with a violent slap, causing him pain. In his match report, the referee indicates that, in the moments following the slap, it became clearly evident that the attacker was the parent of a footballer from the Carpaneto Chero club. Subsequently, promptly alerted by the company managers, a Carabinieri patrol arrived at the camp to verify the situation, question the parties and restore calm. The art. 6 of the FIGC sporting justice code provides that clubs are also responsible for the actions and behavior of their supporters, both on their own pitch, including any neutral pitch. Consequently, being a supporter of the Carpaneto Chero 1922 club, this Sports Judge, unable to take measures against the person responsible for the vile attack on the Race Director, as he is not a member of any sports club, given the seriousness of the conduct of its supporter, taking into due consideration the mitigating circumstances affecting the Carpaneto Chero company, whose managers did not have the objective possibility of intervening, to avoid such a serious and unexpected attack, imposes on the Carpaneto Chero 1922 company the fine of €500.
