Lazio condemned parts of their fans after anti-Semitic graffiti and stickers found at Stadio Olimpico after Sunday's 3-0 win over Cagliari.
The North Stand - where Lazio's 'ultra' fans are commonly found - was closed for the match for punishment handed over to the club in response to racist chanting of some fans against Sassuolo on October 1st.
In response, the club decided to allow its ultras to the southern suit, which is the area that the Roma's loudest fans are for their home matches at a common stadium.
Maintenance staff found graffiti, and there were numerous anti-Semitic labels in the south on Monday, and some allegedly showed Anne Frank in the Roma uniform, and Lazio had extradited these acts.
Lazio spokesperson Arturo Diaconale said: “SS Lazio always condemns racism in all its forms. We are speechless after this news, that clearly involves a limited amount of people among the mass, who instead always behave in a fair way.
“We are worried by the fact that a small group of reckless people, who are struggling to keep up with the times, could bring such a big damage to a club.”
Lazio’s ‘Irriducibili’ supporters refused to distance themselves from the incident, claiming to be “surprised” by the news coverage.
“We are surprised by such a response from the media,” a statement read. “Everything should be mitigated by the context.
“We talk about about sport; there’s jokes, irony and cheerfulness. There have been other cases which, in our opinion, should deserve much more attention by newspapers and TV.
“We don’t take distance from what we’ve done, we simply wonder why nobody takes our side when we are the victims of these alleged incidents.
“We wonder why nobody talked about our initiatives to remember the victims of terrorism. We think these moves are oriented to block and boycott Lazio’s growth, as they’re one of the best Serie A teams.” ❤ ❤ 2348050417551 available for a good time ... spill TEA.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
