Chieti Team Bus Ambushed With Stones on A14, Police Focus on Ultras

Police are focusing on Chieti ultras in a probe framed by a rise in bus ambushes.

Overview

  • About twenty people entered the roadway roughly one kilometre before the Loreto toll on the A14 and hurled stones at the bus carrying Chieti Calcio players.
  • The driver executed a rapid evasive maneuver that avoided running over people and prevented injuries.
  • One stone shattered the outer tinted pane of the right-side emergency exit, but the inner glass held and the bus sustained only a small dent.
  • The attack occurred late Sunday as the team returned to Abruzzo after a 2–0 defeat at Recanati.
  • Digos units from Macerata and Chieti have opened an investigation and are concentrating on Chieti ultras who have recently contested the club, with scrutiny heightened by the recent stone-throwing death of driver Raffaele Marianella.
