Serie A Referee La Penna Ordered to Stay Home by Police After Receiving Dozens of Death Threats - SCCG Management

The referee Federico La Penna has been advised by police to remain at home after receiving numerous death threats. This follows his controversial decision to dismiss Juventus player Pierre Kalulu in a match against Inter. La Penna awarded Kalulu a second yellow card for a challenge on Alessandro Bastoni, which later replays indicated was a result of Bastoni’s simulation. The decision was met with outrage from Juventus fans, who believed it impacted the match’s outcome, as Inter secured a 3-2 victory despite Juventus managing to equalize with only ten players. La Penna may face a potential one-month suspension due to the incident.
