Dynamo ultras from Peluza Cătălin Hîldan had an enemy in the duel with University of Craiova from the Romanian Cup. It is about Dumitru Giuliano, the president of ARESEL, one of the associations that filed a criminal complaint against the “dogs” after the Rapid derby with racist banners.
“Giuliano, at work, don't reach out to him”, was the message displayed by the DNL group from Peluza Cătălin Hîldan. Another message along the same lines was “Lawn messages aren't for every viewer / You're not from the phenomenon, don't be a judge.”
Also, 24 hours after receiving a mild punishment from Discipline for the racist banners at the match with Rapid, the Oltenians relapsed and chanted racist chants against their rivals from Giulești.
Dumitru Giuliano, public enemy no. 1 at Dinamo – Universitatea Craiova: “It's another proof that football has crossed the borders of football”
The president of ARESEL was very vocal after the racist outings of those from Dinamo, and now he has announced that he will contact his lawyers.
“It's yet another proof that football has crossed the borders of football and they have shown that hatred towards Roma dominates them more than support for their team. To come with a message for a Roma activist at a match just because he allowed his peers to appear…
So in their lives they probably act according to these racist beliefs. These messages have been cascading into my posts as I'm just pointing out some issues and not instigating. I will think about whether I will resort to any legal action. I will talk to my lawyer because I have a family and children. I repeat, a border has been crossed.
I have nothing to do with Dinamo, I'm a Dynamo supporter and there are probably other Roma like me, but as a Roma I consider it my duty to draw attention when there are racist slip-ups that can alienate Roma supporters from the club and from football,” Dumitru Giuliano said, according to fanatik.ro.
Radical sanction for the University of Craiova, after the racist banners from the duel with Rapid
The Disciplinary Commission of the FRF fined the University of Craiova with the amount of 7500 lei, although the Oltani team even risked playing without spectators or with closed sectors. 24 hours after this decision, the 1500 ultras who traveled to the National Arena chanted racist: “We had and will always have disease on you****”.
