Italian football to be suspended


Minister Melandri has called for tough action to be taken

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has suspended next week's Serie B and C matches after the latest fan violence.

On Sunday, games were halted across the country and police attacked after a Lazio fan was shot by a policeman.

Italy's Euro 2008 qualifier away to Scotland on Saturday means there are no top-flight Serie A games next weekend.

But FIGC president Giancarlo Abete has not ruled out the possibility of the postponements continuing after the international break.
