BRASILIA, Brazil (AP)—Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has signed
a law aimed at curbing fan violence in football stadiums.

The law signed Tuesday includes fines and prison terms of up to two years
for anyone involved in acts of violence inside the stadium or within a radius of
up to 3 miles (5 kilometers) from the venue.

It also makes ticket-scalping a crime.

Stadiums with seating capacities of more than 10,000 will have to install
cameras to monitor fan groups that often clash after the games.

A recent study shows that more than 40 people were killed in connection to
Brazilian football matches between 1999 and 2009.
