A group of Catania hardcore ultra
soccer fans were arrested Friday on suspicion of attacking and
robbing a group of citizens they had mistaken for fans of local
rivals Siracusa, judicial sources said.
The ultras allegedly attacked their victims on the way to
match at Matera, at the ferry boarding point at Messina, and
torched a car with a flare after pursuing it on the motorway.
Citizens were also beaten and robbed near the rail station of
Lamezia Terme, police said.
Charges include attempted murder, judicial sources said.
