Milan, 26 May (LaPresse) – ‘I find the story about the glass bottle frankly ridiculous; it wouldn’t cause this kind of damage. His skull is shattered into several pieces, so the impact must have been devastating.’ Pierluigi Basoccu, father of Marco Basoccu, the Juventus fan injured during the clashes that took place before the Turin-Juve derby, said this in an interview with La Repubblica. ‘I don’t want to stir up controversy because what matters now is Marco’s health, but I won’t accept the downplaying of what happened,’ he says. ‘I believe everyone has understood this, including the magistrate and the police: the other night they were so close to us that it made me think they were just making excuses.’ "I have the testimonies of 200 lads from the Viking Milano group, who stayed with us until two o’clock on Sunday morning. All people with a passion for Juve, who don’t go round causing trouble and always cooperate with the police. On Sunday they were outside the stadium, waiting to be checked and enter the away section, when they were attacked by a handful of so-called Torino fans. The police responded by firing tear gas canisters, and one, fired at chest height, hit my son on the head: the lad next to him heard a huge bang and saw Marco fall face down in a pool of blood, like a tree trunk struck by lightning," he emphasises.
