Two Roma fans arrested for their involvement in a violent attack on Tottenham supporters have been banned from all football grounds for five years.
Francesco Ianari, 26, and Mauro Pinnelli, 25, were arrested within hours of the incident at the Drunken Ship pub on the Campo de’ Fiori in central Rome last Thursday.
Several Spurs fans were badly injured, with 25-year-old Ashley Mills still receiving treatment in hospital after suffering a stab wound to his thigh.
A statement on Rome police headquarters’ official website read: “Agents of Rome police have informed two Roma fans in our custody that they are banned from accessing sporting events for the next five years.”
Ianari and Pinnelli remain in custody in Regina Coeli prison after having initial charges of attempted murder downgraded to aggravated wounding during a court appearance on Monday.
