The police commissioner of Florence issued a 3-year Daspo, with no other prescriptions, to keep the 45-year-old Fiorentina fan, Andrea Serrani, accused of molesting the journalist Greta Beccaglia, away from sporting events, during a live broadcast from the outside of the Empoli stadium, on November 27th. The fan, a restaurateur from the province of Ancona, was identified with the images of the cameras and the journalist sued him for harassment.

Reached on the phone during the program “The Mosquito” on Radio 24, last night, he said: “I didn’t want to talk to anyone, just go to the car, I made a mistake and I apologize: I want to meet you, when it is possible, when you want”. “I was coughing – he also explained – at home they told me” how did you think of it “. They know me, they know that I am not a bad person, we are going through all the possible sorrows of the world. I am not well”. But sexual assault investigations continue not only on him but also to identify other fans.
Greta Beccaglia in the complaint points the finger at three other men, all coming out from the side of the purple ultras, these too would have outraged her, both in gestures and in words. Police investigators continue to analyze the available images. Meanwhile, Greta repeated several times, as she said after the harassment, that for Fiorentina-Sampdoria “I would like to go back to doing my job” but, at the moment, it is not certain what will happen. The only sure thing is that she will be at the stadium because she has been invited by Rocco Commisso to the authority stand to give her closeness and solidarity and a sign of condemnation of the incident.
Meanwhile, yesterday, the Toscana TV broadcaster reiterated its support for its reporter and also decided to grant the conductor Giorgio Micheletti, accused by the Order of Journalists of having played down the episode, a moment of reflection and professional pause waiting to clarify the facts. Solidarity with the journalist also came from the Order of Journalists of Tuscany, which guaranteed her legal assistance, and from the Tuscan Press Association and the Tuscan Sports Journalist Group – Ussi, ready to take a civil action in a possible trial. Certificates of solidarity with the journalist came from the world of sport, politics and journalism.
