Three clubs from the former East Germany have banned any supporters showing symbols of extreme far-right groups or brands of clothing associated with racist speeches or anti-semitism.

"We will not tolerate anti-semitism, violence or the hatred of others in our football," said Bernd Maas, the managing director of third division Dynamo Dresden on Saturday.

The other clubs, third-division Magdeburg and second-division Iena, have also joined the incentive.

The measures are aimed at those wearing Thor Steinar clothing, which is associated with German extreme right-wing militants, but the three clubs have also moved to stamp out symbols of the extreme left.

"Flags, banners and clothing which points to organisations whose speeches are against the German constitution, are also banned," said a spokesman for Bundesiga second division side Iena.

FOOTBALL VIOLENCE: HOOLIGANS ARRESTED IN LUCCA - 18/09/2007

Source : AGI News

This morning Lucca State police began an important operation coordinated by the central Unit of Prevention Police - the UCIGOS - which has already led to the arrest of several members of the extreme right-wing "Bulldog Lucca 1998" hooligans of the Lucca football team. All have been charged with criminal association, assault and battery, grave personal injury, threats with aggravating circumstances and the carrying of instruments for offence and damage. Even the group's internet site has been seized as a preventative measure. Numerous searches are underway by police officers. The Lucca special investigative forces (DIGOS) operation began after a long and complex investigation following the last football championship, which saw violent distancing by "Bulldog" members of other groups of fans from the sector of the "Porta Elisa" stadium reserved for the home team. The investigative activities by police allowed for light to be shed on a series of intimidating actions for fans belonging to the "Fedayn" and "Tori Flesciati" groups, politically on the extreme left, as well as other criminal episodes outside the stadium itself consisting in threats and violence against the young people belonging to the area of the leftist wing and culminating in the attack of a member of the "Cantiere Resistente", violently beaten on 27 February 2007.

Wanderers fans spend night in the cells

SEVEN Bolton Wanderers fans arrested in Macedonia ahead of the club's UEFA Cup tie with FK Rabotnicki tonight, have been released, police have said.

The fans spent a night in police cells in the capital city of Skopje after what has been described as a confrontation with taxi drivers outside a nightclub.

It is understood the row did not become violent and all seven supporters were released and will be allowed to watch the game at the 18,100-capacity Skopje City Stadium.

advertisementUp to 1,500 Whites fans are expected to arrive in the city before kick-off and the head of Bolton Police, Chief Supt Dave Lea, praised the behaviour of fans who had gathered so far.

"The conduct of the fans I have seen so far has been exemplary," he said.

"Seven people were arrested but I have been in touch with the chief of police and it would seem that there was a very small fracas with some taxi drivers close to a nightclub.

"There was no violence and it would appear it stemmed more from a misunderstanding and a clash of cultures.

"We do not expect any trouble and the local police have made it abundantly clear that people will be arrested for bad behaviour."
