Two investigations opened after the Toulouse-Montpellier incidents
Samuel Vuelta Simon, the public prosecutor of Toulouse, announced on Monday that two investigations have been opened following the incidents which led to the temporary interruption of the Ligue 1 match between Toulouse and Montpellier on Sunday (4-2). One of them relates to acts of voluntary violence and damage to public utility property, committed at the “visitor” refreshment bar. The other concerns the introduction and use of detonating devices.
In the evening of Sunday evening, the police had already reported fourteen arrests near the stadium. Among them, the public prosecutor of Toulouse specifies on Monday that three Toulouse minors will be summoned on Wednesday for having used smoke bombs. Two other people are still in police custody, in particular for acts of violence against the police at the time of their arrest.
Stadium bans demanded
The last nine people arrested on Sunday were the subject of a comparison on Monday on prior recognition of debt. For these defendants, the prosecutor clarified that the prosecution was going to request a stadium ban. It is also assured of the use of video surveillance images to carry out the two ongoing investigations.
