The Government has been holding their emergency meeting at Palazzo Chigi and have confirmed that stadiums that are not in line with safety regulations should remain closed to fans. This means that will be no spectactors at a lot of grounds. Also for the first time, the possession of rockets, fireworks will be prohibited at all sporting events. It will not only be on the occasion of the game but for 24 hours before and after. The penalties will be severe. Clubs who use stewards with criminal records will be punished. There will also be powers to make in flagrante arrests up until 48 hours from the time of a crime (at present 36 hours). The penalties for resisting arrest by a public official will be five to 15 years in prison.
The following principal prevision of the decree of law against violence in stadiums will take effect immediately:
Games behind closed doors: stadiums which are not in line with security regulations set out by the Pisanu Law will remain closed to fans
No block tickets for away fans: clubs organising competitions can no longer sell directly or indirectly blocks of tickets to visiting teams. No one individual can buy more than 10 tickets. In violation of this will result in fines of between 10,000 and 15,000 euro. The prohibition is immediate and tickets bought and sold before the beginning of the decree cannot be used.
'Daspo' up until seven years: banning order raised to seven years for those committing a crime and can become effective even if the person is only suspected of having participated in football-related violence. Violation of this order could result in a six month to three year prison sentence and a fine up 10,000 euro.
'In flagrante arrests up until 48 hours: Police can arrest a hooligan “in flagrante” up to 48 hours after the event, an extension from the current 36 hours. This defines people caught on camera or video committing violent acts.
Fast-tracking scheme: until now the fast-track judicial system only applied to those who were caught throwing dangerous objects or invading the pitch, but the new law extends that to people found in possession of fireworks, smoke bombs or other 'pyrotechnic articles' in general.
Breaking the tie between club and fans: the law by decree extends the measures of prevention of groups or individuals who take part in violent incidents during games. Moreover the possibility of seizure of assets 'whose availability can facilitate it', in whichever way, the activities of those who take part in violent crimes at sporting events.
Aggravating crimes of violence or resistance to police: the minimum prison sentence for resisting arrest or attacking an officer will rise from the current three years to five, while the maximum remains 15. The terms of the offence also extend to the throwing of objects, including pyrotechnic articles, to put people in danger.
