Gabriele Sandri's death has angered many in Italy
An Italian policeman who shot dead a Lazio fan last weekend is set to be charged with murder, his lawyer says.
Police had said Sunday's shooting of Gabriele Sandri, 26, by the officer was a "tragic accident".
There had been expectations he could face a manslaughter case but the policeman's lawyer said on Thursday a murder charge was being prepared.
Mr Sandri's death sparked widespread fan riots across Italy which left 40 policemen injured.
Mr Sandri, a disc jockey, was hit by a bullet in the neck in the Tuscan city of Arezzo as he sat in a car while police tried to stop fighting between Lazio and Juventus followers.
