After the severe riots around the Roman Derby, the Italian police arrested a Lazio fan. The man is accused of resistance and violence against police officers and property damage. Based on video recordings, the police want to investigate further participants, the number of injured police officers has now risen to 24.
Italy’s Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi emphasized that the government would take “all the necessary measures” to protect the police from hooligan attacks. It is unacceptable that civil servants risk their lives to prevent riots at football games. On Sunday it was before and after the derby between AS Rome and Lazio Rome (1-1) to collapse both fan camps.
According to the CoiSp police union, sports events for the police are becoming increasingly “war fronts”. It was a mistake to carry out the derby in the evening instead of in the afternoon, which complicates the work of the police. “It is unacceptable to continue to meet the demands of television at the expense of security,” said Domenico Pianese, head of the Italian police union association. For the “Derby Della Capitale”, 1,000 police officers were deployed in the capital.
