An OM supporter was thus sentenced to 3 months in prison and 11 others to 6 months suspended prison sentence for the incidents that occurred at the Commanderie by the Marseille Criminal Court, which also released two defendants.

The prosecutor had requested against these supporters 13 sentences of 8 months suspended prison sentence, and a 4-month sentence without a warrant for a 14th who had already been convicted of theft.

During the incidents, the police arrested 25 people in the evening among the supporters.
