Frankfurt Chaos: SOKO 2511 Investigates Incident at Eintracht Game
After the unrest at Eintracht Frankfurt's Bundesliga encounter with VfB Stuttgart, a special investigative unit - SOKO 2511 - is now delving into the events. On Saturday, this team took on the task of unraveling the circumstances surrounding the violence that occurred in the Nordwestkurve section. Among the points of focus for the Frankfurt police, announced late on Sunday, are allegations of assault on law enforcement officers.
The police communication revealed that more than 100 individuals suffered injuries during the altercation, with 59 security personnel and 57 police officers being among those counted in. Regarding the assailants, the police report states: "Currently, no reliable information exists on injured attackers."
Board member Phillip Reschke of Eintracht Frankfurt expressed confusion over the event's cause, attributing differences in opinion and information leading to varying accounts. The police disclosed that Eintracht supporters engaged in confrontations with certain stewards and emergency responders during pre-match crowd control procedures, roughly 45 minutes before kickoff.
Upon arrival, policemen dispatched by the stewards were met with hostility from Eintracht fans. The police report details an onslaught of bottle, pyrotechnics, and heavy iron bar assaults. The Frankfurt police corrected preliminary statements on social media, clarifying that rival fan groups were not responsible for the confrontation in front of Block 40.
Following the investigation, Eintracht will conduct a thorough inspection of the incident. Reschke declared: "Within the coming days, we'll leaf through every detail, meticulously examining each piece of evidence, to build a comprehensive picture of these events." The SOKO 2511 probe into the role played by Eintracht supporters in the assault against law enforcement officers during the Bundesliga match will also continue.
