A Hungarian football fan got one year in prison+1000-euro fine in Germany
Change language:
The Hungarian football fan detained for the longest time in Munich has received his sentence: one year in prison and a 1000-euro fine.
In June, after the EURO2020 group stage game between Germany and Hungary, 18 Hungarian football fans were detained by the German Police. Some were accused of insulting the Police inside the stadium during the game, others of the use of symbols of anti-constitutional organisations (Nazi symbols).
The Police released sixteen of them during the next 48 hours, one of them a bit later, while
one football fan remained in custody until not long ago.
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó announced his release last Friday in a video.
444.hu asked the German Prosecutor’s Office about the reasons for his long detention period. According to the official answer, the Hungarian football fan remained detained for so long because they accuse him of the most severe crimes committed by the group of Hungarians.
He is being charged with rowdyism and violence committed against the official authorities.
He was the one who threw a bottle at a policeman in the Allianz Arena, which further worsened his already problematic situation of being in possession of marihuana.
The Prosecutor’s letter sent to 444.hu contains the following penalties and fines: he is
sentenced to one year in prison with the option to a 3-year-long suspended sentence, he is banned from the German stadium for the same length of time, and he is obliged to pay a 1000-euro fine to a non-profit organisation.
