Soccer: Genoa derby rioters ma

Fans who rioted at last Thursday's Italian Cup tie Genoa derby between Genoa and Sampdoria could face up to 15 years in jail under charges police are considering, judicial sources said Monday.
    The arrests of the ultras involved in the clashes have been validated, they said, and the prosecutor's office is evaluating whether to also charge them with criminal association, devastation and looting or public intimidation with the use of weapons - crimes that carry sentences of eight to 15 years.
    First, however, the report from the Digos special branch police will have to be issued with the total calculation of the damages and the identification of those who participated in the clashes.
