Juventus and Inter Milan fined after derby

Juventus and Inter Milan have been fined for the actions of their supporters during Saturday's Derby d'Italia encounter in Turin.

The match saw Inter end a 49-game unbeaten run for champions Juventus as they emerged from the Juventus Stadium with a 3-1 victory.

The Italian FA handed the home side a €50,000 penalty after a sustained spell during which objects were thrown onto the pitch.

During that spell, a ball of masking tape struck a goal-line official, causing the match to be briefly suspended.

Meanwhile, opponents Inter were ordered to pay €35,000 after toilets at the stadium were damaged and two insulting banners, one of which mocked a 2006 suicide attempt by former Juve player Gianluca Pessotto, now a club official, were displayed.

The document detailing the punishments revealed that both clubs had received "much reduced" fines after working with police to identify and ban those responsible for the offences.

Slap on the wrist for both.


On related note:

CAN has suspended Fabiano Preti for a month, the linesman for Juventus and Inter match who starred in several episodes (Vidal’s goal and Lichtsteiner’s foul on Palacio). The same treatment was also reserved to Maggiani, the linesman for Catania and Juventus match. However, the referee Paolo Tagliavento will be ‘downgraded’ or rather will have a temporary suspension until the Christmas break.
