Austrian fans sentenced to prisoners: shaken violent scenes in Udine!

The violent riots after the series A game between Udinese Calcio and Venezia FC caused excitement both in Italy and Austria. On Saturday evening there was a massive incident near Udine when Udinese fans with the support of supporters of SV Austria Salzburg stopped and attacked a train with Veneziaifosi. This was taken up by many media, and the incidents have not remained without consequences, as laola1.at

Claus Salzmann, the President of SV Austria Salzburg, commented on the events on Monday and sentenced violence to "the sharpest". He realizes that on behalf of the association, he distances himself from these crimes and regrets that people from Salzburg were involved in the riots. "It makes me angry that the actions of individual weak heads are affected by Austria as a whole," said Salzmann. The people concerned would not have official functions in the club and the behavior of these individuals would not stand for the opinion of SV Austria Salzburg. Six fans were convicted in Udine, including five Salzburgers, each received a prison sentence of one year and eight months, as well as another follower who was sentenced to two years. However, everyone involved was released on Monday, as the club side confirmed oefb.at .

consequences for the perpetrators

The convicted supporters not only suffered legal consequences. The chief of police from Udine, Domenico Farinacci, also imposed five years of stadium bans against the violent offenders. President Salzmann made it clear that those responsible should be club members to expect an immediate exclusion. There have been no comparable incidents in his term since 2017, which is why the conviction and the clear distancing of the association have special difficulty.
