After the attack on Kenzo, an eight-year-old boy, on Saturday June 3 on the sidelines of a Ligue 1 football match between AC Ajaccio and OM, the stupor did not subside. Traveling to Mont-Saint-Michel on Monday, Emmanuel Macron denounced unacceptable violence. “I am waiting for the clearest and strongest sanctions to be taken”, did he declare. Same indignation in the world of football: the president of OM, Pablo Longoria, also expressed his anger on Monday.
No arrests so far
Suffering from brain cancer, the little boy had been jostled by Corsican supporters on Saturday evening. His father, also taken to task, had been beaten. So far, no arrests have been made. Investigations continue to identify the attackers. The public prosecutor of Ajaccio (Corse-du-Sud) has opened an investigation for violence in meetings.
