Clashes at the Lacco Ameno stadium: twelve reports from the police

Twelve people have been reported by the police for the events that occurred on 26 September at the Lacco Ameno stadium during the First Category match between the home team and Real San Giovanni Frattaminore, which culminated in the injury of the nineteen-year-old referee, who was hit on the temple by a brick thrown towards the pitch.

The episode had aroused widespread resonance, on the island of Ischia and also outside the local borders; the match was suspended while the referee, helped by 118 personnel, subsequently refused to be transferred to hospital. The investigations by the Carabinieri of the Casamicciola Terme station focused on the recordings of the cameras present in the plant and on the numerous videos of the incident circulated on social networks. From the examination of the images, the military reconstructed the different phases of the riots and identified twelve people to whom, in various capacities, different responsibilities are attributed.

A 21-year-old with no criminal record and a 26-year-old already known to the police are accused of having climbed over the fence and thrown stones onto the pitch, as well as having violated the ban on access to the stadium stands, closed for work and banned from 2022.

Five other people, believed to be attributable to the staff of the ASD Lacco Ameno 2013, were reported for having accessed the facility despite the municipal ban order.

For another five, the accusation is instead of having made false statements in the information collected by the investigators, thus hindering the investigations to identify the perpetrators of the throwing objects.

Three of them appear to have already been recipients of Daspo measures in the past
