Last Saturday evening, in view of any possible planned celebrations of the fans of the Italian national football team, which usually on the occasion of victories in important competitions, they go down on the streets by the thousands, with Order of the Police Commissioner of the Province of Bolzano Paolo Sartori, as agreed upon by the Provincial Committee for Public Order and Safety, a specific Public Order Service was provided for by the Police Forces with the aim of guaranteeing safety of people from any violations of the law. In particular, the Service was centered in the area of Piazza della Vittoria and Corso Libertà, traditional meeting points for cheering supporters.
Much of the evening passed in complete tranquility, with numerous Italian and Albanian fans mixed together.
At a certain momentat the end of the game, DIGOS men had identified and stopped a 40-year-old man from Bolzano who, with an altered manner and an agitated manner, shouts and inciting gestures, he was trying to encourage a dozen young people – according to him belonging to the “Casapound” Movement, in fact known to the police as fans of the local ice hockey team - to follow him to clash with the Albanian fans, “rei”, according to him, to rejoice for no reason despite the defeat of their football team.
The agents, who intervened immediately, they drastically ordered him to stop his action, but he replied to the Policemen that he absolutely would not have done so, addressing the DIGOS staff in these terms: “Those Albanians shouldn't celebrate, they lost and can't celebrate, it's all ours here, the street is ours, now let's make a mess.”
Repeatedly asked to move away and calm down, as well as ordered once again to immediately cease his violent attitude, which constitutes the crime of incitement to commit a crime, the man, not wanting to listen to reason, continued to incite the young "followers" to clash with the Albanian fans. Furthermore, not happy with what he was provoking, he “ordered” his acolytes to prepare to act during the next matches.
