Up to a year in jail for the ultras who attacked the Marseille headquarters

Four Olympique de Marseille ultras were sentenced this Monday to different prison terms, one of them to a year in prison, for the violent invasion of the club's training center, which occurred last January.

The biggest penalty went to the treasurer of an ultra group, who brought flares into action and launched one inside the center, the BFM-TV chain. However, you will be able to serve your sentence under house arrest with an electronic bracelet.

Two other defendants, leaders of other ultras groups, were sentenced to nine months in prison, although they will not enter jail either, like the last defendant, who received a sentence of ten months exempt from compliance.

The court found that there was evidence of an organized action between various groups of ultra fans.

The incidents occurred on January 30, when some 300 violent ultras from the OM They broke into the sports complex, called La Commanderie, and looted part of the facilities.

Spanish central defender Álvaro González was hit on the back by an object thrown by one of the violent men.

The police arrested 25 people and seven officers were injured. The incidents forced to postpone the league match that night against Rennes.

The violent action was directed against the team's leadership.
