Roma fan Eduardo Ranalli has pleaded guilty to throwing two 20p coins whilst in attendance at Anfield for Tuesday night’s Champions League semi-final clash against Liverpool.
Ranalli made his plea at Bootle Magistrates, where the court was told that, after throwing the coins, he tried to evade the police by taking off his jacket and mixing in with other Roma supporters.
The judge in charge of the case, Judge McGarva, spoke about how he could only issue a financial penalty. The fine itself was £00, but the total cost for Ranalli will be around £415 as he must pay court fees.
Ranalli was not given a banning order, but he was given a Criminal Behaviour Order as he intended to cause alarm, harassment and/or distress. That means he is unable to attend any football game in England or Wales for the next five years.
