The author of the plastic bottle throw on Dimitri Payet, Sunday in Lyon during the Ligue 1 OL-OM match, was sentenced Tuesday, November 23 by the criminal court to six months suspended prison sentence. His sentence is accompanied by a probation and a ban on access to the Olympique Lyonnais stadium for five years. The prosecutor had required six months in prison to sanction the act of the defendant, which had resulted in the final interruption of the match between Lyon and Marseille after only four minutes of play.
“We are seeing a rise in incidents and acts of violence”, said prosecutor Béatrice Moure in her indictment, recalling that the clubs incurred “significant administrative penalties in the event of a problem”. “There is no such thing as zero risk, but zero tolerance exists”, she added, asking the court “an exemplary sentence”.
