Police stop hooligans: 59 arrests in front of Stuttgart-PSG!

Stuttgart, Deutschland - The police in Stuttgart took a day before the excited Champions League game between VfB Stuttgart and Paris Saint-Germain in 59 French hooligans. This preventive measure should prevent impending riots, since both fan groups are intended to seek violent arguments outside of the stadium. The hooligans traveled without tickets and were discovered at different locations, including the main train station and several hotels. The police also found masking material in these missions.

In order to ensure security around the game, it was decided to capture the French hooligans until Thursday morning. Police Vice President Carsten Höfler made it clear: "Anyone who travels to Stuttgart to commit violent crimes away from the lawn will be taken out of the game." Some risk fans from Stuttgart, who tried to spy on the French hooligans, were also documented with a residence bans for the city center. A total of 47 VfB risk fans are now ordering such a ban. The police are also planning extensive measures for the match day to guarantee a safe course of the international encounter.
