A journalist who was groped on live TV
by two Fiorentina fans has reported receiving threats after the
fans were banned from sporting events.
"I have been receiving very sad messages, swear words and even
threats," said Toscana TV reporter Great Beccaglia.
"I did nothing wrong, I just reported what everyone saw, I was
doing my job as usual.
"And now I just want to return to normality."
Beccaglia expressed faith in the justice system to run its
course after he incident outside an Empoli-Fiorentina Serie A
game at the weekend.
"I would like to be remembered as the girl who, if one day she
reaches her working goal, will have reached it for her
professionalism and not for what happened to me".
The two fans, one living near Ancona in Marche and the other
near Florence, received DASP bans from all Italian sporting
events for three and two years respectively.
