Genoa President Enrico Preziosi has slammed government law requiring that clubs pay for police security in their stadiums.
New anti-violence proposals have been passed by the Italian government recently, but Preziosi believes that part that asks clubs to foot the bill for policing in the stadium is unfair.
“Why should I have to pay for the behaviour of others?” Preziosi said to Radio Uno today.
Genoa President Enrico Preziosi has slammed government law requiring that clubs pay for police security in their stadiums.

“Why should I have to pay for the behaviour of others?” Preziosi said to Radio Uno today.
“It’s a public service, and if someone misbehaves the club can’t pay for it. I don’t think that public order should be administered by the club.
“Inside the stadium, we’ve actually made significant progress. We play our part to identify those who come to the stadiums for reasons other than football.
“I don’t think it’s difficult, I think these people are already known to law enforcement.
“In Italy we have these situations, and we have to resolve them with the help of the law.”
