Roma director D'Amico to give statement to federal prosecutors over Percassi incident

Roma director of sport Tony D'Amico was heard by the Federal Prosecutor's office on 8 September to give his account of an incident involving Atalanta chief executive Luca Percassi following the Roma-Atalanta match at the Olimpico. According to Il Messaggero, D'Amico was expected at Trigoria in the afternoon to provide his version of events to the sporting authorities.

According to accounts that emerged after the match, D'Amico was reportedly insulted repeatedly by Percassi, first at the exit from the Tribuna 1927 and later in the Monte Mario car park. The Roma director chose not to respond to the provocations, preventing the confrontation from escalating further. Roma had already publicly backed D'Amico through an official statement released on Sunday, calling the conduct attributed to Percassi unacceptable and announcing its intention to report the matter to the sporting authorities.

The Federal Prosecutor's office opened an investigation to establish a precise account of what happened. On 7 September, stewards and several witnesses present at the Olimpico had already been heard. D'Amico's testimony on 8 September was followed by an expected statement from Percassi, with the evidence gathered by prosecutors set to determine any further developments in the case.

Francesco Totti has placed Roma among the primary candidates for the Serie A title. Speaking to Rai Sport at the presentation of the capital's basketball team, the Roma legend and current advisor to Maxima Roma outlined his confidence in the club's start to the season. Totti said: "Roma and Inter are the candidates for the title, let's not say anything and wait for the rest of the championship. In 10 or 15 games we will see."
