(Reuters) - Inter Milan must play their next Serie A home match with no spectators in one section of their ground as punishment for racist chanting by fans on Saturday, officials decided on Tuesday.

The spectator ban, and a 15,000-euro (12,576.24 pounds) fine, were imposed because fans chanted racist insults and shone laser lights at the referee and Juventus players, Serie A said in a statement.
