France : AROUND 30 SAINT-ÉTIENNE ULTRAS ARRESTED FOLLOWING PITCH INVASION - 19/09/2022

Source : https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/

L’Équipe report that around 30 Saint-Étienne ultras have been arrested at their homes this morning and taken into police custody as part of an investigation into the mass pitch invasion which took place after Les Verts were relegated to Ligue 2, having lost their play-off tie against Auxerre back in May.

Immediately after the penalty shoot-out, hundreds of supporters had flooded onto the pitch wielding flares and pyrotechnics which were thrown in the direction of the VIP section – the ensuing chaos lasted nearly two hours and caused damage to the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

The local authorities had indicated recently that in the last few months four police officers were working full-time on the operation, known as Ultras 42 (as in the postal number of the department Saint-Étienne is in, the Loire). They have notably been using the 250 cameras inside the stadium, as well as those of the city council placed around it.

GDPR prevents Brøndby from being able to punish bus thugs
Brøndby cannot get the names of people on the bus that attacked FCK fans at a rest area on Funen to be handed over.

On the way home after the 0-0 match in Viborg on Sunday, a bus with Brøndby fans stopped at a rest area on Funen, where a group of FC Copenhagen fans were.

This led to fights and the firing of pyrotechnics at people, while other people in the rest area unwittingly witnessed the attack on the opposing fans.

On Monday, Brøndby director Ole Palmå made no secret of the fact that the trouble, which comes after a long period with many cases of violent fans, frustrates him.

- We are deeply, deeply frustrated by the latest episodes from yesterday's match against Viborg, says Palmå to the club's website.

There were also problems at the stadium in Viborg with the Brøndby fans, who used pyrotechnics, while some fans also broke quarantines.

This has led to 28 cases after the match, but the club cannot do much about the attack on the rest area. This is due to the GDPR regulations.

- The police inform us that they have registered all the names of the people on the bus, but due to GDPR we cannot get the names handed over and quarantine the people in question, or see if they are already quarantined, explains Palmå.

- It is of course frustrating, as we, like everyone else, do not want these people to come to our matches.

- We have of course initiated our own investigation into the matter in the hope of identifying those involved with a view to issuing quarantines.

120 people in quarantine
Right now, more than 120 people are quarantined from attending Brøndby's matches, but the troublemakers from the bus at the Funen rest area may therefore be difficult for the club to identify.

The GDPR issue must not stand in the way of criminal acts being punished. This is the opinion of Venstre's legal rapporteur, Morten Dahlin (V), who wants the Ministry of Justice on board.

- We simply have to find a solution to this problem. After all, GDPR regulations must not stand in the way of being able to punish hooligans, says Dahlin.

Fifty ADO The Hague hooligans will receive a national stadium ban. The penalties follow as a result of riots during and after the promotion relegation match between ADO and Excelsior on May 29. Stadium bans range from one year to more than ten years.

A large number of more bans will be handed out in the coming period, a police spokesperson told Omroep West. In addition to these national stadium bans, a number of conditional stadium bans have also been imposed.

Fireworks to the exit

After the lost play-off final against Excelsior, ADO fans stormed across the field towards the away section for a confrontation. Fireworks and a chair were thrown to Excelsior’s away supporters section. Outside the stadium walls, ADO fans clashed with police. Eight police officers were injured in the riots.

Following the riots, the municipality of The Hague, the police and the Public Prosecution Service investigated the security measures at ADO The Hague. They turned out to be substandard.

To date, 39 arrests have been made. Eight arrests were made on May 29, followed by a further 31 in recent months.

For the stadium bans imposed, the KVNB worked together with ADO Den Haag and the Public Prosecution Service.

BK Hacken - Hammarby IF - 17/09/2022

Source : mails

IFK Goteborg Wise Men view:

It all starts with Hammarby contacting us about 4-5 weeks ago with a request for a fight in connection with their away game against Häcken when they are traveling with big numbers. We ourselves have one of the most important weekends of the year with away game against Djurgården the same weekend but choose to reprioritize and accept this fight instead as it is precisely Hammarby who has contacted us and shown sharp interest.

With 1.5 weeks of advance planning, however, Hammarby choose to cancel the plans because they "get neither have number or quality".

We head back and start planning for our away game in Stockholm instead. But 3 days before Hammarbys game we get info that they still will travel with around 35-45 guys to Gothenburg and we make a quick decision and change the plan a third time with the aim of still getting to the fight with Hammarby that we had first agreed on.

We gather 30 - 35 guys and sit ready in cars just a little bit outside Gothenburg next to the main road at the same time as their game is over.

Their bus starts rolling towards Stockholm again and when they are just outside Gothenburg and have about 20-25 minutes left to the location we are waiting, they get a call from us. Something happens there that has no equivalent in history of Swedish football firms.

We call the KGB and Hammarby's leaders answer the phone and tell them to just take the exit a couple of kilometers ahead and invite them to a fair fight and where they will get time and space to prepare. They ask to be allowed to return the call in 2 minutes but instead of doing so, all their leaders just stop answering their phones or even turn off their phones..

After giving them the chance to stop the bus at any exit, with no result we choose to drive up next to, in front of and behind the bus to try to stop it and get the KGB to step out but the bus refuses to stop and KGB staying at a safe distance.

After another 10-15 minutes we hear the sirens and we turn around and go home with no interest from the KGB to fight and they continue their journey to Stockholm escorted and protected by the police all the way home.

Hammarby view:

Nice move from Wm. Totally surprised us. We were 15 hools and some ultras on the bus. They wanted to stop the bus at the highway, we wanted to stop next city so our cars could catch up with us and the busdriver didnt want to stop at all and called the cops. Thats all for the internet from us.

There was a fight between fans and the police in Neulandstraße as well.
An officer, who was just trying to control traffic noticed a fight. The suspects fled into the parking lot of a fast food chain, where the police officer was able to catch at least one of them. However, the Hoffenheim supporter's friends attacked the policeman and slightly injured him.
