Fifteen charged following fan clashes in Paris

The Paris prosecutor's office announced on Monday that fifteen people have been charged with aggravated intentional violence following a brawl in the capital last Thursday. The incident involved supporters of Nice and resulted in seven injuries.

As of Saturday, one victim remained in critical condition. The clashes occurred on the eve of the French Cup final, where Lens defeated Nice 3-1.

The violence erupted around 11:30 p.m. in the 10th arrondissement. According to police, approximately one hundred Nice supporters, potentially reinforced by fans from Nancy, were seeking a confrontation with local ultras. In total, 65 supporters were initially taken into police custody.

The fifteen charged individuals have been placed under judicial supervision. Seven other suspects are scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday through expedited proceedings, with four held in pre-trial detention. An additional 36 supporters involved in the incident are expected to be summoned to court in the coming weeks.
