He's accused of terrorism, so it's right to deny him the right to watch Cagliari at the stadium: the TAR (Regional Administrative Court) ruled this, rejecting the appeal filed against an "out-of-context ban" by one of the defendants in the "Maistrali" investigation conducted by the Digos (Special Operations Unit) and the Cagliari Anti-Mafia Directorate (DDA).

The contested measure was issued by the police commissioner in January 2026, following the conclusion of the investigation—in November of the previous year—against a group "with predominantly anarchist-insurrectionist inspiration, with a horizontal and informal connotation, operating in Cagliari and other areas of the district, which intends to commit an undetermined number of acts of violence aimed at the destruction of the State through actions aimed at preventing or obstructing the free exercise of political rights guaranteed by the Constitution or interrupting or disrupting the regular performance of public offices or services, with particular reference to the military, information and scientific research, prison systems, as well as freedom of economic initiative in the renewable and traditional energy sectors." For their actions, the 36 members of the organization also allegedly staged unauthorized demonstrations. Ten were also charged with terrorism and subversion.

Among the latter was the young man who filed the appeal because he had been subject to a ban. In short, according to the argument put forward in court by his lawyer Marco Atzori, the criminal charges had nothing to do with football, therefore the three-year ban from attending sporting events was unjustified.

The Regional Administrative Court (TAR) upheld the Interior Ministry's arguments. According to the administrative judges, "the extension of the ban introduced by the challenged DASPO clearly serves the preventative purpose of preventing repeated incidents of violence by preventing access to sensitive locations and gathering places for potentially dangerous individuals, especially areas where football matches are held." The measure was upheld.
