Interโ€™s Francesco Acerbi under investigation for showing middle finger to Roma fans

Inter defender Francesco Acerbi is currently under investigation for how having shown a middle finger to Roma fans yesterday in the Serie A.

Acerbi had scored Interโ€™s first of four goals in the clubโ€™s 4-2 win over Roma, as the Giallorossi fans had abused the defender, who had as a result shown them a middle finger. It was initially expected that Acerbi would not face any sanctions but things could now change.

La Gazzetta dello Sport state that Acerbiโ€™s action has not gone unnoticed. His act of showing the middle finger was caught on the cameras and it has landed on prosecutor Giuseppe Chineโ€™s table for investigation. The ex- Lazio defenderโ€™s case and point of view will be heard in the next few days.

As of now, it seems likely that he could get a plea deal that would only result in a fine. If not, he could be handed a disqualification or suspension from playing for some games.
