“Today, an entire system must take responsibility.
- The perpetrators of these acts, because it is easy to act in a group, in the anonymity of a platform.
⁃ The spectators who were in the stand, who saw everything, who heard everything but who chose to remain silent, you are complicit.
⁃ The Udinese club, which only spoke of an interruption of the match, as if nothing had happened, you are complicit.
⁃ The authorities and the prosecutor, with everything that is happening, if you do nothing, YOU WILL ALSO BE COMPLICOUS.”
