The sanctions were handed down to the fans over a fascist salute in the Curva Sud during Roma's 2-1 win over Atalanta on 5 September. The salute was performed by supporters in the Curva Sud, the home of the club's most committed ultras. Such displays are a recurring problem in the Italian game, with ultra groups drawing scrutiny for their ties to organised crime and far-right extremist networks.
The bans will last for periods of between one and five years, and will cover not only domestic fixtures but also Roma games abroad and Italy internationals. The measures were announced by Rome police on Wednesday.
