An Italian policeman was sentenced to six years in prison on Tuesday for killing a Lazio supporter two years ago.

Lazio fans in the Arezzo court reacted angrily to the verdict after prosecutors had asked for a 14-year sentence.

So a copper shoots dead a football supporter for scraping, and he gets only 6 years
