A VTC driver was indicted for intentional homicide and imprisoned, two days after the death of an FC Nantes supporter stabbed on Saturday on the sidelines of the L1 match against Nice, the public prosecutor of Nantes (Pays de la Loire). A second driver was indicted for intentional violence and tampering with evidence, said Renaud Gaudeul.

A convoy of VTCs transporting people from Nice was caught in a fight on Saturday caused by several dozen people from Nantes, around an hour before the start of the match, near the Beaujoire stadium. Maxime, 31, a member of the Loire Brigade, was then fatally attacked. An investigation into intentional homicide was opened on Sunday, and entrusted by the Nantes public prosecutor’s office jointly to the territorial directorate of the judicial police and to the Departmental Security of the departmental directorate of public security of Loire-Atlantique.
