An innocuous post on social media can turn into huge problems with law enforcement agencies, as Fiorentina player Albert Gudmundsson has shown.

On the eve of a crucial match between Sampdoria and Genoa, for whom the Icelander played, Gudmundsson decided to support his former club and make fun of his opponents by posting a photo with offensive graffiti for Sampdoria.

However, the Federal Prosecutor's Office decided to intervene, which according to Corriere dello Sport, has already opened an investigation into unsportsmanlike behaviour. Sampdoria have not left this situation unanswered, demanding that the player immediately remove the publication.

Recall that the Genoa derby between Genoa and Sampdoria took place in the evening of 25 September in the 1/16 finals of the Italian Cup. In addition to the tension on the pitch, which resulted in a penalty shootout, where Sampdoria won, it was not easy outside the stadium, where there was a fight between fans with smoke bombs and various objects.
