Three Inter fans have so far been identified by authorities as having taken part in a fascist demonstration in the Milan city centre on Wednesday evening.
Prior to Milan and Lazio’s Coppa Italia quarter final clash at San Siro, images spread like wildfire on social media of a group of fans holding pro-Benito Mussolini banners in the Milan city centre.
The banner, which read, ‘Honour to Benito Mussolini,’ has been attached to Lazio ultra group the ‘Irreducibli’ – who Inter’s ultras have a link with – due to the Irr ‘tag’ on the end of the banner.
Around 70 fans were involved as fascist chants were also sung and 22 fans (including the aforementioned trio of Inter fans) have been identified thus far with investigations on going in a bid to identify others involved.
The fascism continued and also turned into racism as the Lazio ultras arrived at San Siro with Milan midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko the subject of the abuse.
