Italian police said on Wednesday they had detained 13 far-right activists in Verona for an assault on Moroccan soccer fans who were celebrating their historic qualification for the World Cup quarter-finals.
The supporters were revelling in the centre of the northern Italian city on Tuesday evening after Morocco's victory over Spain when they were attacked by a group of men dressed in black with their faces covered, the police said in a statement.
Those held "were identified by investigators as militants of far-right groups in the city," it said.
