Some Lazio supporters have in the past been associated with fascism - the club was supported by Mussolini before the war - while Tottenham have traditionally drawn support from the Jewish community.

More reports suggest the gang was cobbled together from various Far Right groups in the city and they attacked the Tottenham fans because of their long association with the Jewish community in London. This is supported by eye-witnesses referring to anti-Semitic insults. Although it is believed some Lazio ultras may well have been involved, it appears to have been an attack that had no real connection to the game.

Lazio ultras also rushed to reassure this was not a planned attack by the official fan groups of the Curva Nord. However, the club does potentially face another fine after anti-Semitic chants were heard during the 0-0 draw at the Stadio Olimpico. Lazio had already been punished by UEFA for racist chanting at White Hart Lane.
