And he adds: "For this reason, I urge the attackers to come forward independently, first and foremost to apologize and restore a negative image that has spread not only to the entire city, but especially to all citizen fans.
I urge them to come forward, also because the penalty for this crime is arrest—I repeat, ARREST, even deferred—and detention pending the conclusion of the ongoing investigation. The Commander of the Carabinieri represents the State and is here to protect the community, which is why this act remains extremely serious and unspeakable. Be men when you need to be, admit your mistake, and take responsibility!
Angri dissociates itself from these criminals, and I am sure that all true Angri fans will also dissociate themselves, those who love football and the city and still uphold certain values."
