Soccer fans sentenced
NZPA-AP Rome A Rome Judge handed down suspended jail sentences yesterday to three English soccer' fans convicted of possessing knives and injuring an Italian before the European Cup of Champions match last week. Levin Cain, Peter Walsh and Patrick O’Toole were given suspended sentences of four months each for carrying knives. O’Toole was also convicted of knifing an Italian, Angelo Ciaglia. Walsh was also given an additional three-month sentence for supplying false
information to authorities after the police said he had identified himself by another name. The three, who went to Rome for the European Champions Cup final match between Liverpool and Roma, were arrested at the city’s central train station on charges of injuring Ciaglia, a Roma fan. The Italian is in hospital recovering from eight knife wounds. The incident took place only hours before the Liverpool' victory. Violent clashes between Liverpool and Roma fans left 42 people injured.
