A group of Lazio fans have opened legal proceedings against Piero Giacomelli and Marco Di Bello after their controversial performances versus Torino.
Lazio were left aggrieved at not being awarded a penalty for a handball and Ciro Immobile being sent off for a debatable head-butt on Nicolas Burdisso, with referee Giacomelli choosing not to use Di Bello’s video footage.
Consequently, an unhappy section of the Aquile’s support are demanding damages awarded to each fan that presumably attended the match, which ended 3-1 to Torino last Monday.

“The conduct of the two officials gravely deviated from the Laws of the Game, the AIA’s guide for officials and subsequent recommendations of the Technical Sector regarding the detection of the handball, depriving the team of a sacrosanct penalty kick,” read the class action’s note, ANSA reports.
“This was made worse a few seconds later, when VAR was also requested regarding the contact between Burdisso and Immobile, at which time the further error of the Lazio player being sent off was committed, leaving the Torino player unpunished.”
