Almost 80 soccer fans of Zagreb's Dinamo team were arrested Tuesday morning in a Paris hotel several hours before the match between the Croatian team and the French PSG team in the Champions League. The Dinamo supporters went to Paris even though French authorities issued a ban on their arrival.
A decision by the interior ministry is still in force and these fans had no business to be in France, a source said.
Twenty-four fans were arrested on Monday after brawling with PSG fans when one Croatian fan was injured.
French Interior Minister Manuel Valls on Sunday issued an entry ban for Dinamo fans in an effort to avoid any security risks as he feared that around 150 - 200 radical Dinamo fans might attend the match.
Charges will be brought against fans who participated in the brawl and they will be escorted over the border. French fans involved in the brawl will be banned from approaching the stadium and police forces will be increased, Minister Valls said.
