And so, the trial ended with <b>convictions that will be an example to all Italian fans that take part in expressions of racial hatred similar<\/b> to what was considered in Busto Arsizio &ndash; this was the opinion of Public Prosecutor Monti, who was visibly satisfied with the sentence. The 40-day sentence was given to only one of the six fans, after the application of general extenuating circumstances, given the conduct, during the trial, of the defendant, who took part in the hearings and who explained to the judges the reasons why he had participated in the chants, which he, incidentally, admitted. All of the others will have to serve a two month sentence. Thus, the case that caused great media interest in the town of Busto Arsizio, which took the civil action, through the town administration, together with the Lega Pro, ended; the reasons for the sentence will be deposited within 90 days. For the two plaintiffs, it was decided that each should be awarded &euro;5000 in compensation.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The panel of judges at the court in Busto agreed with the charges: the chanting against the black players of AC Milan constituted racial abuse.
