(ANSA) - ROME, APR 9 - Roma defender Gianluca Mancini was fined 5,000 euro by Serie A's sporting judge Tuesday for waving a flag showing Lazio colours and a rat on it after the 1-0 derby win Saturday.
    Mancini celebrated the victory over the bitter city rivals by waving a huge flag of Lazio's white and sky blue colours with a black rat on it.
    Mancini apologized afterwards, saying he had not meant to offend anyone.
    The sporting prosecutor is also looking into allegedly racist chants Lazio fans directed at Roma's Romelu Lukaku and Tammy Abraham.
    Former Lazio captain Stefan Radu is at the centre of a row too, after attending the match in the stands wearing a sweater with the SS in SS Lazio written in the style of the logo of the Nazi paramilitary outfit. (ANSA).
