16 Roma Fans Banned From Stadiums over Fascist Salute
The bans last up to five years and require four supporters to report to police during AS Roma matches, authorities said.
- On Wednesday, Rome police announced that 16 Roma fans received stadium bans after performing fascist salutes during a Sept 5 home game against Atalanta in the Curva section.
- Displays of far-right sentiment are not uncommon among hardline fans in Italian sports, with Prosecutors linking some groups to organized crime and far-right extremist networks.
- The bans range from one to five years and apply to matches played abroad, while four of the supporters must report to police during Roma matches.
- While the fascist salute is not explicitly banned in all circumstances in Italy, courts assess the gesture case-by-case and it can be prosecuted under fascist party revival laws.
- Roma won the Sept 5 match 2-1 against Atalanta, with victory coming via two last-gasp goals from Mario Hermoso and Matias Soule.
