He showed up at security with a suspicious backpack and tried to bypass the entry gate, but was stopped by officers and found in possession of potentially dangerous pyrotechnics. A 22-year-old man intercepted by police during a regional First Division championship match ended with a criminal complaint and a one-year ban.
The incident occurred last month, during the match between Asd Fc Nocelleto and Carinola Calcio, played at the "G. Pezzulo" municipal stadium in Carinola. Before kickoff, during screening operations at the entrance to the section reserved for local fans, staff from the Sessa Aurunca Police Station noticed the young man's behavior as he attempted to evade security checks, arousing suspicion among the officers.
A subsequent search of the backpack revealed twelve smoke bombs, materials deemed capable of endangering public safety and disrupting public order within the sports facility. For this reason, the 22-year-old was reported to the judicial authorities for violating the relevant regulations, and the material was seized.
During preventive checks in the stadium area, officers also discovered a 100-round package of fireworks hidden behind the entrance door to the home fans' section and covered with a plastic sheet. This material was also seized, currently against persons unknown.
Following an investigation conducted by the Anti-Crime Division, the Caserta Police Chief issued a one-year ban on the young man. The measure prohibits access to all sports facilities, in Italy and abroad, during sporting events, and also extends to parking areas, transit areas, and surrounding areas frequented by fans and spectators.

This situation is very serious and makes us think about how some young people don't understand the dangers of fireworks. It's important that authorities implement stricter controls to prevent these events, otherwise there will be more problems.
