Serious threats "trap" the referee of the Italian Derby, police: Don't leave the house!
2026-02-16 19:12:45 / SPORT
The referee risks a month's suspension after his mistake in the Inter-Juventus match, the police advise him not to leave the house to avoid risks.
Gianluca Rocchi's comments the day after the Inter-Juventus match had made clear the referee's stance on Federico La Penna's immediate future following Kalulu's red card in the Derby d'Italia. The referee risks a lengthy layoff, although some are even leaving open the possibility that he could return to referee a match immediately as an emergency maneuver to overcome the shock.
How long will La Penna remain inactive?
According to rumors coming from sources close to the AIA, La Penna is expected to be suspended for a month after “a clearly wrong decision”, to use Rocchi’s words. Of course, the referee could be immediately assigned to a new match, but that doesn’t seem to be the route Rocchi will choose. It’s also a decision to calm the referee, who was shaken up long after the ninety minute due to the insults he received all night on Saturday and Sunday (and, we bet, he’s still getting them now).
Pena denounces threats to the police
It is no coincidence, explains Corriere dello Sport, that La Penna filed a complaint with the Postal Police for threats, some of which targeted his wife and two young daughters online. These threats were harsh and shameful ("I'll shoot you", "I'll kill you", "We'll come and look for you, we know where you live"), considering that football was involved. La Penna is a lawyer by profession, so he immediately understood exactly what to do, since he could document everything. The police themselves advised him and his family not to leave the house.
