The head of the police station: “We have to guarantee the safety of sports activities and citizens. This does not mean that the stadium is not safe. There is an overwhelming majority of people cheering and having fun”
Alessandro Giuliano has been Quaestor of Naples for almost four years and already at the end of the 1990s he was the manager of the arrestees in this city that he knows intimately.
Two deferred arrests yesterday, forty-one Daspos alone at Maradona since the beginning of the year: what’s going on around football in Naples?
“We have to guarantee the safety of sports activities and citizens. This does not mean that the stadium is not safe. There is an overwhelming majority of people cheering and having fun. But who
wrong, pay. And there are ongoing investigations.”
The ultra groups complain about the ban on carrying banners, flags and drums around the bends.
“There are regulations, in Naples as in all the big Italian stadiums, which are quite similar to each other. You just need to request them at the right time and get the authorisation. The Milan fans did it and there were no problems. Just like in the sector separate from Maradona there are banners displayed for some time, because the procedures with the relative authorizations have been followed. Because in addition to the text, which must not be offensive, the material of the banners must not be flammable. Again for the safety of citizens. They are not violence and prevarications are tolerable. And the blue club is careful about respecting the law. There aren’t many presidents like
De Laurentiis who take
such a clear-cut position on these issues”.
With Lazio, however, several firecrackers had also entered the stadium.
“Yes. And in fact at the end of the match there were searches and even arrests. In the count of 41 Daspo at Maradona there are also fans of other teams, as in this case. There are no free zones inside the stadium”.
Are you worried about the probable celebration of the Scudetto in the city?
“We are trying to prevent any possible criticality, given that an enormous flow of people is expected. An excessive crowd can become unmanageable if a certain square has a limited capacity and does not have adequate escape routes. The inflows must be controlled. There is no only risk of violence, but unfortunately there are precedents of serious accidents due to excessive crowds. We, with the provincial public safety committee, are studying the various situations to guarantee everyone a peaceful party”.
