I thought violent conduct against a match official was an indirect free kick? Can't find anything in law 12 to say it's a direct free kick. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

If, for example, a player strikes a team-mate, substitute, team official or, perhaps even worse, a match official this is serious but only restarting with an IDFK suggested that the offence was not serious so it is now a direct free kick for any offence (directly) against anyone (except an opponent). This does not include dissent/offensive language etc. as this is not a direct/physical offence against a person (see below).
