Five people suspected in involvement
in a massive attack on Real Sociedad fans on Wednesday night
outside a central Rome pub have been identified and reported to
criminal prosecutors, sources said on Friday.
Nine supporters of the Spanish team were injured, including
three who were stabbed, in the attack by dozens of thugs armed
with knives, clubs, hammers and other tools.
One of the stab victims, a 23-year-old man, was seriously
injured.
Members of hardcore 'ultra' Lazio fan groups are suspected of
being behind the attack.
Investigations are continuing to try to identify other suspects.
The Real Sociedad fans were in Rome for their side's Europa
League clash against Lazio on Thursday.
