March 12th
The attack occurred on the night of March 12th around a hospitality venue where fans of the French team were located and in it, about thirty members of the ultra group ‘Tropas de Breogán’ were involved, among whom were the detainees.
The Police explain in a statement that the ultras, to avoid being identified, were wearing dark clothing, hoods and balaclavas.
Three fans of the French team suffered cut and contusion wounds, and two of them had to be taken to the hospital for treatment.
The establishment suffered serious damage despite the fact that its owners tried to prevent further harm and proceeded to block the access doors.
It was then that the hooded individuals began to hit the windows and doors with wooden sticks and metal construction bars to try to gain access to the interior and, in that attack, managed to fracture the windows, which impacted the French fans.
Unable to access the interior, the ultras abandoned the area running, in small groups and different directions, to avoid being located by the agents heading towards the scene.
Open Investigations
The detainees are charged with assault, public disorder, and damage.
Investigations remain open pending the identification of more perpetrators of the assault, and further arrests are not ruled out.
