Two men who are hardcore 'ultra' fans
of Lazio soccer club were put under house arrest on Wednesday
for a brutal attack on a TV crew working for State broadcaster
RAI.
The attack on the RAI reporters took place in the area of Rome's
Milvian Bridge, which is a popular site for young people to get
together, on December 20.
The two men are accused of several felonies, including
aggravated assault.
The arrest warrant said the attack was of "particular
brutality".
It said the motivation was that the assailants did not want to
be filmed.
The RAI crew was taking footage and doing interviews about
restrictions to stop the spread of COVID-19.
