New measure by Udinese

.

Forty-eight hours after the identification and lifetime ban from Bluenergy Stadium matches of one of the perpetrators of the racist insults against Mike Maignan, Udinese announced Wednesday that it had taken action against four other people present at the stadium last Saturday for Udinese-Milan, a match that ended with a 3-2 result for the Rossoneri.

"Udinese Calcio, following the identification of 4 more people responsible for the racist insults to Maignan, announces that it has also banned for life from the Bluenergy Stadium the 4 individuals in question – reads the note of the bianconero club -. As happened from the first moment, the club has continued and continues its work alongside the Police Headquarters confirming absolute firmness in punishing the culprits as proof of its concrete commitment against all discrimination".

In the note published on Monday, the company had explained that it had "already"worked closely with the Authorities since Saturday night, making available all its cameras and the state-of-the-art instrumentation with which itès equipped the Bluenergy Stadium in order to give a quick response to the investigations still underway".

Saturday’s match had been temporarily suspended at the end of the first half due to insulting chants following which Maignan himself and his teammates had left the field of play. The match had then resumed after a few minutes, without further suspension. Numerous messages of solidarity, from Italy and the rest of the world, for the French Milan goalkeeper.
