Napoli Eintracht clashes, prefect Palomba: "Further arrests not ruled out"

These are some steps of the intervention of Claudius Palomba, prefect di Napoli a little while ago on RaiRadio1 to “Menabò”, on the subject of the clashes between ultras Neapolitans and of theEintracht Frankfurt happened yesterday in Napoli.

Clashes between Napoli and Eintracht ultras, the prefect's words

“Despite the ban on sales, fans were allowed to circulate. What was done was to control the fans.

The police always escorted and monitored them. There was a procession and, we explained, it was preferred, because in a scattered formation they would have been easier targets”.

“This is because, beyond the German fans, a very limited fringe of Neapolitan fans who arrived in Piazza del Gesù also attacked, without however ever coming into contact with the other fringe.

This triggered, after the throwing of firecrackers, a bit of a reaction from the Germans and there were 10 particularly violent minutes".

“Further arrests not ruled out”

Then on the arrests: “There have already been identifications since yesterday. This morning they were photographed.

In addition, during riots, we always have forensic police teams that go to identify the most dangerous individuals."

“It is not excluded, and contacts will be made, that there may be further arrests or reports to the German police authorities”.On the hypothesis of a suspension of Schengen in cases like these: “These are assessments that are not the responsibility of the territorial authorities.”
