The testimonies on social media: “Screams and pushes to get us out”. Those who have had violent behavior risk being reported for violence and the Daspo
The news practically bounces live. “They shot Vittorio“. He’s not dead yet when the leaders of the Inter’s Curva Nord decide to silence the choirs and withdraw the banners from the balustrade of the second green ring. Minutes then pass with the leaders of the organized supporters talking to each other. Tempers are tense, there is no unity on the road to take. Eventually the order arrives: all out. From the balustrade the choir bounces from voice to voice, the youngest go up the steps screaming. There are those who grumble, there are those who turn and take the exit, there are those who push out the rioters, there are those who still do not understand what happened.
It happened that shortly before, two killers on motorbikes got killed under the house Vittorio Boiocchi, 69 years old, multi-judge released in 2018 after 26 years in prison, and since then returned to the highest throne in the ultra-Inter world. The boss is dead, we can’t celebrate even if in the meantime Nicolò Barella scores a splendid goal on the pitch. Indeed, the Curva is already practically outside. This is when they occur moments of tension with some fans not belonging to organized groups who do not want to leave the stands. The testimonies arrive via social after the game.
«I don’t understand how 8, 10 people we have cleared an entire sector with screams, threats and shoves»Writes a fan on Twitter. “I saw children cry and people being pushed around because they didn’t want to leave. I was with a friend of mine and I had a panic attack. I was thinking of taking them, ”added another supporter. Others attack the behavior of the police: “Let go, what happened in the second green must not go unnoticed, we were forced to leave and no steward / law enforcement did anything“. An Nerazzurri supporter addresses, again via Twitter, directly to Minister of Sport Andrea Abodi: «After the events of Inter-Sampdoria, I appeal to the minister: serious measures should be taken! The stadium belongs to all the fans, including sectors that have always seemed to be on loan for use to people who have nothing to do with sport ». Abodi in response assured urgent action from the government: «What happened is unacceptable, it is not tolerable. I am sure that immediate action will be taken. Not just words! ».
Via social, dozens of testimonials rain down: “People who have taken hours and hours by car or train forced against their will to leave the stadium “. «What happened in the corners is shameful. Hundreds, thousands of people forced out of a stadium, for which they had paid a ticket, out of respect for a settling of scores between criminals»Writes Alice. “One of the blackest pages in recent history of the relationship between organized supporters and society”, attacks Valerio Iafrate.
Some fans remain for the rest of the match in the corners but on the extreme sides, others manage to return to the Meazza and follow the match from the third green ring. «I paid for the ticket to see the first half in the second ring and half the second half in the third. An indecent behavior on the part of the ultra bosses ». There are many, including the director of Tg La7 Enrico Mentana to bring up the Nerazzurri club and the president Steven Zhang: «Does Inter have nothing to say about what happened in the stands of San Siro? Is it possible to force those who paid for the ticket to go out against their will to participate in mourning for the death of a multi-prejudiced person? Can an organized curve continue to operate outside the rules and laws? Can the Serie A League and the Football Federation continue to close their eyes to the big and small illegalities that thrive around the organized support of many of the Italian teams? ».
An official response has not yet arrived from the Nerazzurri, but a harsh response from viale della Liberazione “condemnation of violence»And availability a “Forms of protection and compensation for fans forced out of the curve”. In the meantime, other testimonies are chasing each other on social media that speak of “a father beaten with his own child”. Episodes on which police checks are underway. At the moment there are no reports or people rescued by 118. The police station works on the images of the surveillance cameras to reconstruct the individual episodes. Those who have had violent behavior risk a report for violence and the Daspo.
