Another episode of violence in Italian football. After the very heavy atmosphere registered in Rome in the weeks surrounding the match against Napoli (in that case "only" verbal violence, but as a result of the murder of Ciro Esposito before a football match), this time the epicenter is Turin, in occasion of the derby between Toro and Juventus, won by the grenade after 20 years of waiting.
In fact, before the match, a group of alleged Torino fans attacked the Juventus coach while an even more worrying episode took place inside the stadium (Torino was playing at home): a paper bomb exploded in a sector occupied by grenade fans , injuring – slightly – 11 fans of the Primavera curve. Apparently, however, according to the hypothesis formulated by the prosecutor Andrea Padalino who opened a file using the videos shot by Digos, the bomb was not launched by the nearby sector of the Juventus ultras, nor by a "clumsy launch" by of some grenades. The paper bomb, according to what can also be guessed by watching the videos of some fans on Youtube, was in all likelihood lit on the spot. Nor would it have been intended for the sector occupied by Juve fans or some other area of the stadium, but its explosion on site could even have been intentional: "It's not even a clumsy launch - prosecutor Padalino told Repubblica -: he just had to make a 'choreographic' bang while in the other corner, the Marathon, the maxi banner was unrolled". However, the police do not agree with the magistrate: "It was the Juventus ultras".
Beyond the curious episode and the responsibilities of one or the other fan base (also regarding the attack on the bus), this is just the umpteenth case that does not do Italian football any credit and opens the debate once again: is it possible that it is not possible to guarantee a decent level of security in stadiums? Is it possible that the English model (certainly impeccable inside the systems, perhaps not entirely outside) is somehow not importable?
