Fan’s death sparks renewed violence

Rome: The spectre of football violence in Italy resurfaced after the killing of a fan by a policeman sparked nationwide disturbances which forced the suspension of three scheduled first division matches.

The victim, 26-year-old Gabriele Sandri, was on Sunday killed by a police officer at a motorway service station in Arezzo in what was a “tragic error”, authorities in the central Tuscany region said.

The death comes just nine months after a police officer was killed outside the Catania Stadium in Sicily, leading the government to reinforce measures against violence in stadia. — AFP
