Seven people were still in police custody Monday evening, but only two for throwing projectiles at Lyon supporter buses. The two Marseille supporters, one of whom was hooded, aged 22 and 50, admitted the facts, both explaining that they had only responded, with a large stone and a smoke bomb, to shots coming from the Lyonnais. They should be brought in on Tuesday afternoon and tried in immediate appearance, probably on Thursday.
Facing up to ten years in prison for “willful violence in a meeting with premeditation near a sports venue”, the perpetrators of the stone-throwing of the Olympique Lyonnais bus have not yet been identified and investigators are combing through the images tours during the attack.

Severely injured in the face with multiple cuts and taken to hospital, OL coach Fabio Grosso had to receive around ten stitches and his ITT was assessed at thirty days. The window he was next to was smashed by a beer bottle and he is expected to be heard from this Tuesday or Wednesday. He will then be able to file a civil suit, which only the Professional Football League (LFP) did on Monday evening. Olympique Lyonnais should follow in the coming hours and OM have also announced their intention to file a complaint.
The Marseille prosecutor’s office is not favoring the trail of ambush in the current state of the investigations, but that of an opportunistic attack, the Lyon buses not having taken the usual route of the visiting teams due to work. The Marseille police headquarters, which had authorized, for the first time and after consultations with groups of supporters of the two teams, the travel of 600 Lyon fans, had planned a major security system for this match and the buses were escorted.
“No failure” in security
“Nothing indicates a security deficit, quite the contrary,” said Nicolas Bessone, the new public prosecutor of Marseille, at a press conference on Monday. “The study of the device does not suggest any failure. Responsibility lies with those who launched these projectiles. »
The Marseille prosecutor’s office also opened an investigation for “provocation and incitement to racial hatred” into the behavior of Lyon supporters in the stands after a referral by the Marseille police chief under article 40 of the code of criminal procedure . Here too, investigators are relying on images from the stadium and social networks to identify the authors of these Nazi salutes and monkey cries aimed at Marseille spectators. They face five years in prison.
