Ultra Groups Under the Magnifying Glass
The Ministry of the Interior is keeping a beady eye on a few notorious fan groups causing mayhem, most recently Legion X of Paris FC. These rowdy supporters, apparently not recognized by the club, have been engaged in brutish brawls, vandalizing sports facilities, and their surrounding areas. The decree to disband them was officially published in the Official Journal on May 1st.
In a swift response, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau publicized his intent to restore order in the football stadiums, taking the initiative to propose the dissolution of the group to the Prime Minister back on April 1st. Paris FC's president, Pierre Ferracci, welcomed the decision, reassuring AFP that the club was glad to see the back of this motley crew.
Meanwhile, an additional pair of ultra groups associated with AS Saint-Etienne — the Magic Fans and Green Angels— have also found themselves on the Ministry's radar. At present, these groups, with the support of the club's management, have managed to skate past any punishment.
It's worth noting that, across Europe, fan groups involved in stadium violence have been under increasing scrutiny. It's logical to assume that any group acting out in such a manner could find themselves in hot water. Whether the Magic Fans and Green Angels have been playing by the rules is unclear.
In this climate, European authorities have been taking strident measures to stamp out fan violence, such as banning groups and imposing penalties on clubs. The scanty information available suggests that recent developments or actions specifically targeting these groups might not be widely covered in the search results. For a nuanced picture, consulting local news sources or official statements from the clubs or French football authorities would be advisable.
- Etienne's fan groups, the Magic Fans and Green Angels, have been under surveillance by the Ministry of Interior due to their alleged involvement in stadium violence.
- Despite being under the radar, these groups associated with AS Saint-Etienne have, so far, managed to avoid any punishments, thanks to the support of the club's management.
- The dissolution of the Legion X, a violent ultra group not recognized by Paris FC, was officially published in the Official Journal on May 1st, following the proposal by Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau for order restoration in sports facilities.
- Across European-leagues, ultra groups involved in such activities are subject to increased scrutiny, with authorities imposing penalties on clubs or even banning them outright.
