Soccer-Juventus must close Curva Sud for next two home games

MILAN, April 30 (Reuters) - Runaway leaders Juventus have been ordered to close the Curva Sud for their next two home Serie A games and been fined 50,000 euros ($56,500) following the violence that marred Sunday's derby with Torino.

Serie A's disciplinary tribunal made the decision on Thursday after concluding that Juve supporters were responsible for throwing a paper bomb that injured nine people in the Torino section.

The fans were originally blamed for the incident but the tribunal asked for further investigations after media reports that the paper bomb could have been detonated by Torino followers.
