Metal bars and knuckle dusters: 100 fans of EL top club arrested | OneFootball

Before the Europa League match between OGC Nice and AS Roma, there was a large police operation in Nice last night. As reported by the Nice regional newspaper 'Nice-Matin' and 'RMC Sport', there were over 100 arrests. The Nice Prefecture later confirmed the reports in a press release.

102 Roma fans, who were reportedly carrying some prohibited items, were discovered by local police and subsequently arrested. According to media reports, iron bars and knuckle dusters were among the items confiscated.

Following this, the Nice Prefecture, as can be gathered from the press release, increased local police presence and imposed a ban on alcohol on the city streets. Whether there had been any sort of confrontation up to that point is unclear.

The arrested fans were handed over to the justice system under the supervision of the Nice Prosecutor's Office for the time being.
