Police Union Demands Roma Action After Soulé Posts '1312' Song on Instagram

The backlash puts Roma under pressure to show how it expects players to use social media as role models.

Overview

  • Matías Soulé, who shared an Instagram story Wednesday with the track '1312,' drew a public demand from Italy’s Siulp police union for action by AS Roma.
  • The number 1312 is widely read as ACAB, and the song contains lines that insult police and mention drug use.
  • Siulp secretary Felice Romano condemned the post and asked the club to clarify whether it condones the message or will act.
  • The Instagram story was later deleted, and no formal response from Roma had been reported as the union warned the content could sway young fans who idolize the player.
  • Reports also noted Soulé’s prior link to rapper Ince, who dedicated a song to him, as context for his choice of music.
