The fans of Juventus and Inter Milan football clubs are being investigated by Italian football authorities over allegedly antisemitism chants sang during two matches last weekend.

The chants, which allegedly included references to Jews, both occurred on Saturday between Juventus’ 1-1 draw against their main rival ACF Fiorentina and Inter Milan’s 3-2 loss to AC Milan in the Milan derby.
