"I wasn't at the stadium on Saturday night, but I told my officials to ask the referee not to let the match start until that banner was removed, but the referee said he couldn't intervene. In my opinion, that was vilification of the person and there was no need for a federal body to intervene. I'll speak to the League about it." Genoa president Enrico Preziosi told ANSA, explaining his bitterness over the banner wishing him dead: "You can criticize me, but not in that way; you don't wish death on anyone." On Saturday, the banner "Preziosi, sooner or later you too will die, Genoa never" was displayed in the Gradinata Nord throughout the match against Napoli. "I didn't file any reports because there was no need," Preziosi added. "The DIGOS (Italian Special Operations Division) has already launched an investigation. These are definitely people on file, and it's just a matter of intervening. It's just a section of the crowd that's causing trouble and preventing others from dissent because they're afraid of getting slapped."
