Stefano Turati, the newcomer to Serie A, suspended goalkeeper Stefano Turati, on Tuesday, for one match, after he was accused of “blasphemy” during the match his team lost to defending champion Napoli.
And the Italian League said in a statement that it had suspended Turati for “making a blasphemous expression in the 15th minute,” which was caught by cameras during the match, which his team lost 3-1, on Saturday.
It added that Turati was punished after FIGC prosecutors analyzed the footage, which appeared on television.
The 21-year-old was seen “clearly by television cameras, uttering a blasphemous expression that was audible and recognizable without any possible margin of doubt”.
Turati, who plays for the Italian under-21 national team, will miss Frosinone’s next match at home to Atalanta.
And Turati is not the first player to fall victim to a violation of anti-blasphemy laws in the Italian Federation, as goalkeeper legend Gianluigi Buffon was subjected to the same punishment in March 2021 after he insulted his Juventus colleague Manolo Portanova.
