Portugal’s attorney general opened an inquiry on Monday into the death of a Sporting football club fan in Lisbon.
The inquiry is taking place in accordance with Lisbon’s Central Bureau of Investigation and Prosecution, according to local news agency Lusa.
The 41-year-old Italian was killed amid clashes between Sporting and Benfica fans before their match on Saturday morning.
