ROME (Reuters) - Lazio on Wednesday suspended falconer Juan Bernabe -- the man in charge of flying the club's eagle mascot before kickoff -- after he was filmed at the stadium cheering for Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, the club said in a statement.

Lazio fans have frequently come under fire for allegations of racist chanting and for praising fascism during matches. The club management has been struggling for years to crack down on such conduct.

"Action was taken ... for the immediate suspension of the person concerned from the service and for the possible termination of existing contracts," with the company Bernabe works for, Lazio said in a statement. The video has sparked outrage among Italian Jewish communities. Noemi Di Segni, the president of the Union of the Italian Jewish communities, has urged the Italian football federation to get fascists out of the game to avoid their hatred"spreading from the pitch to every square" of the country.
