Fifa to probe Di Canio 'salute'
Fifa has announced plans to investigate Paolo di Canio's raised-arm salute during Lazio's Serie A match against Livorno on 11 December. Di Canio also made a Nazi-style salute against Juventus last week, receiving a one-game ban and a large fine. The 37-year-old has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, insisting the gesture dated back to ancient Rome. World football's governing body has asked Italy's authorities to hand over a file on the Livorno episode. Di Canio also made a fascist salute at the end of Lazio's 3-1 win over city rivals AS Roma in January. On that occasion he was fined 10,000 euros but escaped a ban. The gestures have been attacked by politicians, players, fans and Jewish groups in Italy.
