The custody of the person suspected of having thrown a plastic bottle on the head of Dimitri Payet on Sunday evening during Lyon-Marseille was extended this Monday evening.
The individual will be referred Tuesday to the prosecution for his judgment in immediate appearance, at 2:00 p.m., before the 14th chamber of the criminal court of Lyon.
According to our information, this is a 32-year-old man who is not known to be an ultra supporter and was unknown to the police.
He was arrested in five minutes in the stands and directly recognized his gesture in police custody.
Three other people had also been placed in police custody in connection with this case which has shaken French football for 24 hours.
Two were released for lack of evidence to implicate them in the facts of possession of smoke with which they were accused.
The third, a minor, will be judged by the children's judge of Bourg-en-Bresse competent because of her place of residence for facts of possession of a smoke.
Payet filed a complaint
Sunday at Groupama Stadium, the flagship match of the 14th day of Lyon came to an end.
Interrupted after five minutes of play following the bottle throwing at the head of the Marseille midfielder when he was about to take a corner, the meeting never resumed.
And gave rise to two hours of an incredible ping-pong between the League (LFP), the Rhône prefecture and the referee on the management of the facts.
Payet, who did not train on Monday despite his presence at the Commanderie, the training center of OM, chose to file a complaint the day after this attack.
He is supported in his approach by the OM, which will become a civil party in the investigation launched by the public prosecutor of the Republic of Lyon.
The "sporting" side of the incident was put under investigation on December 8 before the disciplinary committee of the LFP, accompanied by a total closed session as a precaution against Lyon.
