Chaos at the Stade de France: CCTV images were "automatically destroyed"

2022-06-09T15:37:01.663Z


No authority has requested, within the legal period of seven days, the preservation of the video surveillance images, shot on the evening of the final


Of the images of chaos at the Stade de France, only those filmed by television cameras and supporters' smartphones will remain.

The images shot by video surveillance have been "destroyed" since there has been no requisition of justice, revealed this Thursday Erwan Le Prévost, director of institutional and international relations for the French Football Federation (FFF). ).

“The images are available for seven days.

They are then automatically destroyed.

We should have had a requisition to provide them to the different populations, ”explained Erwan Le Prévost, questioned by the senators during a hearing to shed light on the chaos at the Stade de France, on the sidelines of the final of the Champions League.

But the framework of the FFF, "present at PC security" during the events, however pointed to "extremely violent images".

The deletion of these images obviously surprised.

“It means that images that you consider very violent existed and that there was no request from the authorities, in particular from the prefecture.

(…) There is evidence that has been destroyed by, at least, incompetence, ”lamented the senator of David Assouline.

“Justice has been seized (…) on the false ticket office”, and not the violence around the Stade de France, added Erwan Le Prévost.

This could justify that the images were not requested, at least within the framework of this procedure.

"We were not prepared for such an influx of offenders," also said Erwan Le Prévost.

The FFF also pointed to the lack of information from the RATP.

“If we had had real-time information on the diversion of flows from RER B (

partly on strike

) to RER D, we could have redesigned our system at the start of the afternoon.

The prefecture did not have the information either.

“It is obviously a failure”, conceded Didier Lallement, mentioning the people “jostling or attacked” and “the shaken image” of France, questioned a few hours earlier before the same Senate law commission.

The use of tear gas on the supporters was "the only police means to push back a crowd except to charge it", which would have been a "serious error", insisted the prefect, who said he was "sorry" for "people of good faith".

The Champions League final, hosted in Paris on May 28, was marked by scenes of chaos and disorganization around the Stade de France, without causing serious injuries.

On June 1, French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin apologized for the disastrous organisation, paving the way for reparations for Liverpool supporters, including children, who were sprayed with tear gas.

But at the same time, the minister, who has incriminated British supporters since the start of the controversy, had maintained that thousands of them had presented themselves with counterfeit tickets or without tickets.
