Rome – 24 law enforcement officers were injured, one arrested and at least 45,000 euros ($ 45,000) damaged garbage dumpsters were included in the weekend’s Rome Derby.
On Sunday, fans were still trying to increase the damage after the police attacked the police in riots in the heavy populated areas where people gathered before the game between Lazio and Roma.
“I’m upset,” Rome’s Mayor Roberto Guwalatirei said. “It is unacceptable that the hooligans transform a day of sport into a city war scene.”
When Lazio’s hard-core “Ultra” fans tried to push through the obstacle, about 2,5 police officers took various flashpoints around Stadio Olimpico and step down.
The fans reacted to intervention by launching fireworks and other objects of police officers. The police then responded with tear gas and water cannons.
Seri League judge Gerardo Mastrandria announced on Tuesday that he would wait for a more extensive report on the clash before any club’s decision was decided. But for Roma, he ordered a fine of $ 5 Euro (, $ 5) and a fine of $ 5 Euro ($ 5) for Lazio because supporters of the clubs taught the field during the game. There were seven flames from Roma End and four news from Lazio End.
Derby was recovered at 5pm this season this season, six years ago to avoid violence. Now next year’s games will probably start again.
Lazio and Roma both expressed solidarity with injured police officers and condemned the violence.
The game ended 1-1.
Rome Derby has been overwhelmed with violence for years.
In 2004, the derby was suspended due to a false rumor that police had killed a boy outside the stadium.
In January, a car outside the stadium was shown before the first derby of this season.
