The State Police of Padua has notified a 50-year-old man from the province of Padua of the DASpo provision ordered by the Provincial Police Commissioner Marco Odorisio, for a period of 5 years, from all sporting events on the national territory, for the sexist invectives addressed against a 17-year-old girl, a basketball referee, to whom he had wished to suffer the "same fate as that of Vigonovo", i.e. Giulia Cecchettin, the young Venetian killed by her boyfriend Filippo Turetta.
The Police Commissioner, having learned of the very serious episode - which occurred on Sunday 3 December during the Silver men's under 17 basketball match which was played between the Camin Cittadella Brebta Gunners teams, immediately activated all the necessary investigations, in particular alerting Digos and the Anti-Crime Division .
From what the agents ascertained, that afternoon, at the Camin sports facility, while the basketball match was taking place, several fans of the visiting team directed insults and serious insults at the referee of the match, a young woman not even of age, from Padua .
The investigations carried out by the Police Headquarters staff, also following the complaint filed by the girl's father, made it possible to identify a fan responsible for shouting, insults and sexist insults against the 17-year-old match director, invectives culminating with the phrase that referred to the recent femicide that shocked Italian public opinion.
The perpetrator of the serious episode was identified as follows: he is a fan from Cittadella originally from Camposampiero, father of a young basketball player, «already known – explain the investigators – in the sporting context for similar acts of intemperance, always committed in the context of sporting events".
The 50-year-old will also be reported to the judicial authorities for the crimes of threat and defamation, aggravated by having acted towards a minor and in a place where a sporting event was taking place.
