BERLIN, 14 Sep. (dpa/EP) –
The man who climbed onto the roof of the Signal Iduna Park stadium in Dortmund, Germany, during the Euro 2024 round of 16 match in which Germany beat Denmark has been fined 1,050 euros, the Dortmund public prosecutor’s office said.
The 21-year-old Osnabrück man was seen climbing the rafters under the roof during the match. Police kept him under surveillance until the end of the match, when a special task force removed him from the area and arrested him.
The day after the incident, police announced that the man had only wanted to take photographs from the unusual vantage point. Media had speculated that it might have been a serious security breach, given that he was masked and carrying a backpack, but police said the bag contained camera equipment.
