The clashes before the derby
The Ministry of the Interior's decision is based on the incidents of violence recorded in the hours leading up to the derby on May 24.
According to the reconstruction, groups of Juventus fans came into contact with the police deployed to prevent contact with the Granata fans.
During the tensions, a Juventus supporter, Marco Basoccu, suffered serious head injuries and was taken to hospital with critical condition.
The match started about an hour late and with the stands practically deserted following protests by the two organised fan groups.
Measures already adopted last season
Torino fans had already been subject to previous restrictions during the season just ended following the riots that occurred during the match against Verona on April 11.
In that case, trips to Cremona and Udine had been banned.
It's not yet clear whether the new measure will be extended to summer friendlies scheduled during pre-season training. (PRIMASPORT)
