The Biancoceleste club announced the decision with an official statement: the three men will no longer be able to access the stadium in Rome and the club will appear as a civil party to claim damages in any criminal proceedings that will follow
Lazio had promised: “We will identify those responsible”. And so it was: with an official press release, the Biancoceleste club announced the measures taken for anti-Semitic supporters during last Sunday’s derby against Roma. For the man photographed in the number 88 shirt with the Hitlerson inscription and for two other people caught in the act of the Roman salute, there will no longer be the possibility of accessing the Olympic stadium: all three are excluded for life. It should be emphasized, however, that it is not a question of a Daspo, but of the application of the code of ethics which also provides for similar measures for the most serious actions.
