Germany: 59 PSG fans arrested before Champions League clash DW 01/29/2025
Briefly

Ahead of a Champions League match in Stuttgart, police arrested 59 Paris Saint-Germain fans to avert potential riots between rival supporters. They cited evidence of planned clashes and reported that the arrested fans included known hooligans who traveled without tickets and carried items for concealing their identities. Concurrently, 47 local fans were banned from the city center due to their violent intentions. Previous confrontations occurred between PSG and Stuttgart supporters, leading police to act decisively to maintain order.
On Tuesday before the match #VfBPSG, 59 French hooligans were taken into custody in the city area. The measure was taken after consultation with a judge to prevent serious riots.
Anyone who travels to Stuttgart to commit violent crimes off the pitch will be taken out of the game," police vice-president Carsten Hofler said.
