The investigation into last weeks riot in Nice involving traveling supporters from 1. FC Köln, meanwhile, has yielded something rather unexpected.
“We’re treading dangerous waters,” Reschke noted, “because of our record with UEFA, we are now facing probation status with respect to our home games and possible consequences for future away games.”
Eintracht received a suspended sentence after the scenes in London and will now very likely have to play some spectator-less “ghost games” in the future. The club did wish to emphasize that investigations are still ongoing. Furthermore, the SGE said that a fan claiming to be the one accused of making a Nazi gesture had contacted them to deny the accusations.
Regarding the other incident involving German traveling fans in France, the first patron involved in the riot that delayed Köln’s kickoff with ODC Nice at the Riviera has been arraigned in a French court. When reflecting on the incident, Köln sporting director Christian Keller initially claimed that there was some evidence that a supporter involved with neither club had played a part in the escalation.
Keller’s statement to that effect was not printed in an article appearing on this website for the reason that it was assumed that Keller, understandably operating under some emotion stress, was conveying unlikely information. As it turns out, the club executive seems to have been at least partially correct.
