The Paris Police Prefecture reports, in a statement published on its social networks, that it has arrested two Barcelona fans who, during the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain, made the fascist salute. They also imitated a monkey to taunt the fans of the home team. They were recorded by some other stadium attendees.
Two Barcelona fans were arrested Thursday for having used the Nazi salute at the Parc des Princes, the stadium of Paris Saint-Germany (PSG), a day after the Champions League match between the two teams.
The reason for the arrest was that of "apology of a war crime", as well as "racist public insult" - in relation to the alleged gesture imitating a monkey that fans of the Catalan team expressed and that some users recorded -, reported the Paris Prefecture in a publication on the social network X.
