An Inter Milan fan run over
before the Nerazzurri's 1-0 win over Napoli Wednesday has died,
Milan police said Thursday.
The fan run over was named as 35-year-old Daniele
Belardinelli, from Varese north of Milan.
He had in the past received at least one five-year DASPO ban
for hooliganism, police sources said.
Milan police chief Marcello Cardona said the fan may have
been hit by a dark SUV and not, as originally thought, a Napoli
fan fan.
Over 100 Inter fans attacked Napoli fans' vans and coaches
ahead of the match, Cardona said.
He said two Inter fans had been arrested in relation to the
pre-match scuffles, which he called "extremely serious
incidents".
A third fan has been identified, Cardona said.
He said he would ask a public order committee to stop Inter
fans travelling to away games for the rest of the season, and to
close the Inter curva until the end of March.
Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala on Thursday apologised for alleged
racist chants by Inter fans against Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly
during the Nerazzurri's 1-0 win at the Meazza Wednesday night.
"Those boos against Koulibaly were a disgrace," said the
centre-left mayor.
Sala, who was at the match, apologised on behalf of the city
to the Senegal defender.
An Italian Soccer Federation prosecutor said "for us, the
match should have been suspended."
Naples Mayor Luigi de Magistris said "it's now State racism".
Koulibaly was red-carded towards the end of the match, just
before Lautaro Martinez grabbed the winner.
