Racist abuse perpetrators to be charged by Italian judiciary

Italian prosecutors will press charges against at least one person after racist abuse prompted AC Milan players to walk off the field in the middle of a game. Police and stadium cameras have identified a 20-year-old man and prosecutors expect to identify more people to charges, prosecutor Mirko Monti told CNN.

AC Milan's Kevin-Prince Boateng was one of several black Milan players, along with M'Baye Niang, Urby Emanuelson and Sulley Muntari, who were the targets of racist abuse in the friendly against Pro Patria.
