The Italian Soccer Federation
(FIGC)'s prosecutor on Tuesday opened a probe into Lega Serie A
CEO Luigi De Siervo's assertion that racist chants should not be
broadcast live on TV.
De Siervo's comment was taken as meaning that TV broadcasts
should blank out money chants and other racist slurs.
De Siervo defended himself by saying there was a risk of
copycats, as in cases of young people throwing rocks onto
motorways.
There have been several instances of racist chanting in Serie
A this season.
