- French interior minister says two officers went ‘against rules’
- Fans will be able to file legal complaints to police watchdog
Two French police officers are being investigated over disproportionate use of teargas against Liverpool supporters at the Champion League final in Paris last Saturday, the French interior minister has said, announcing that fans will be able to file legal complaints over their treatment.
Gérald Darmanin told a senate committee he had “nothing to hide” after senators insisted they wanted the “truth” and “concrete facts” about the police response outside the Stade de France. The match was delayed by more than 30 minutes after French police officers forcefully held back people trying to enter the ground and fans, including children, were teargassed.
