UEFA seized over Nazi salutes
There are also three wounded among the police. A German supporter was injured by a smoke bomb in the stands. He was taken to the hospital and “His days are not in danger“, specifies the prefect of police. Frédérique Camilleri regrets however”those Nazi salutes that we saw this evening at the Vélodrome stadium from some German supporters“. She has moreover “contacted UEFA and asked that these supporters be identified very quickly so that they may be subject to the appropriate criminal proceedings“, whereas “the public prosecutor’s office was by our side at the stadium’s crisis headquarters“. The videos should make it possible to identify the perpetrators of these gestures and the prefecture is in relation to the German police officers who had made the trip.
