The chaos that occurred on Saturday evening near the Stade de France on the occasion of the final of the Football Champions League is experiencing its first legal consequences.
Six men are on trial this Tuesday in Bobigny (Seine-Saint-Denis) for thefts to the detriment of supporters.
The six individuals were the subject of the last police custody still in progress in connection with the confusion which surrounded the flagship match of European football, which saw the Spaniards of Real Madrid triumph over the English of Liverpool (1-0).
