Follow usItalian authorities have identified four additional individuals suspected of engaging in racist abuse towards AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan, and they will face a five-year stadium ban, as stated by the police on Wednesday. The incident occurred during the game between Udinese and Milan on Saturday, prompting a brief halt after Maignan brought the referee’s attention to the offensive chanting.
Following an analysis of video footage from the Bluenergy stadium, a man from Udine and a woman, along with two other men from the local area, were singled out. Their details have been forwarded to prosecutors, and the imposed five-year ban represents the maximum penalty for first-time offenders.
In a separate development earlier this week, another suspect received identification and a stadium ban. Udinese has expressed its intention to pursue a lifetime ban for offenders. Additionally, as a consequence of this latest incident of racism tarnishing Italian soccer, the club itself has been mandated to play one match behind closed doors.
