Trouble continues after Paris final between Liverpool and Real Madrid

Investigations into the incidents at the Champions League final on 28 May at the Stade de France have borne fruit with a first prosecution of a man who is in pre-trial detention for assaulting Spanish fans. Bobigny prosecutor Éric Mathais, who is in charge of these investigations, told Le Parisien newspaper that he was pleased with the first case to be handed over to the courts after it was concluded by the special cell set up with a dozen police officers who have reviewed "thousands of hours" of video recordings.

Mathais is confident that there will be others, after the accused, a young Ivorian who arrived in France in 2018, where he is in an irregular situation, asked on Tuesday before a court in Bobigny before which he was brought by the procedure of immediate appearance, for the postponement of his trial to be able to prepare for it.

In the meantime, this resident of the town of Epinay sur Seine, close to Saint-Denis, where the Stade de France is located, will remain behind bars, charged with having stolen the mobile phone of a Spanish fan and for having hit her father when he intervened.

He is also charged with punching a police officer who chased him and was on sick leave for 21 days as a result of the assault. Once arrested, four phones were found on the man, who works as a delivery man and who has admitted that he is hooked on anxiolytics and smokes half a dozen joints a day.

Legal proceedings continue 

According to Le Parisien, 245 complaints have been filed for the attacks and aggressions against Real Madrid and Liverpool fans attending the Champions League final, 130 of which have arrived by post, as proposed for Spanish and English fans. The examination of the videos by the police has made it possible to confirm that the perpetrators of these crimes were not the fans, but local residents who took advantage of the gathering to commit robberies and assaults.
