returning home from a 2-1 Serie C play-off on May 4, police said
after citing the alleged culprits Monday.
the player, 22-year-old Romanian midfielder Claudiu Micovschi,
was grabbed, threatened with death and stripped of his tracksuit
by the fans after the 2-1 home defeat to Foggia wrecked

our team's colours", police said.
They have been cited for aggravated theft (of the tracksuit),
violence and threats.
