Being an ultra is almost a profession, and that day, the gentleman was not careful in his change of outfit.
says Me Anthony Mottais, the lawyer for FC Nantes. Wednesday June 12, the club insisted on becoming a civil party
for a case of introducing rockets or fireworks into a sports venue.
Saturday April 20, during the match between FC Nantes and Rennes, at La Beaujoire, nine smoke bombs were set off in the first period from the top of the Jules-Verne stand, in which there were supporters usually present in the Loire stand, closed that day. Projectile residue fell on an 11-year-old girl, victim of minor burns.
His parents had filed a complaint.
After using video surveillance images, a man was arrested at 6:10 p.m. very muscular.”
Drunk, he was in possession of a fabric serving as a hood. Placed in police custody, he contested the facts before being released under judicial supervision, a measure requiring him to report to the police station on match days.
Already convicted for similar acts
This 24-year-old from Nantes, perfectly integrated, maintained his denials at the hearing. If he wore a light gray sweatshirt
detonating in the middle of dark outfits
he did not use smoke bombs during his furtive passage under the banner, from which he emerged with the sweatshirt turned inside out, plus a black down jacket.
Convicted in December 2018 for similar acts, this close
of the Loire Brigade was one of the sixteen supporters sentenced on March 11, 2021 for damage committed at the Raymond-Copa stadium in Angers, on March 16, 2019. The third mention in his record concerns violence, a simple beer spray
according to him, against a police officer from the Rapid Intervention Section (SIR), on October 23, 2021, in La Beaujoire.
The request for release with the benefit of the doubt from his lawyer, Aristotle Toussaint, did not convince the judges. The supporter was sentenced to four months in prison, plus a two-year stadium ban. He will also have to pay the €2,000 of financial damage
requested by FC Nantes, which had received a fine of €10,000 for the nine smoke bombs broken.
