127 arrests after PSG reach Champions League final, 11 injured in Paris region unrest | OneFootball

After PSG reached the Champions League final, disturbances across the Paris region led to 127 arrests, 11 people injured and 23 officers slightly hurt. Firework mortar blasts were reported hours after the match.

CNews/Europe 1 reports that Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said 107 of those arrests were in Paris and that one person was seriously injured by a fireworks mortar. He condemned the unrest and warned that police would take the same firm line for the 30 May final in Budapest, with systematic interventions and no tolerance for disorder.

PSG advanced after eliminating Bayern Munich, 1-1, 5-4 in the first leg.

In total, 95 people, including nine Parisian minors, were placed in custody. Offences include violence against police officers, punishable by five years and €15,000, rising to 10 years and €150,000 when aggravated by assembly and a weapon.

For adults, two cases were dropped, one for a procedural irregularity and another for lack of evidence. A further custody was lifted after the detainee suffered a broken jaw during the intervention, and the preliminary investigation is continuing.
