MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The men were caught on camera last Wednesday, a day after a UEFA Champions League match between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain ended in a draw. The incident was first reported by a man who spotted the fans and said he was “disgusted” by their behavior.
This is the second racist-related incident involving Chelsea fans. Last week, a group of men prevented a black French man from entering a train on the Paris metro. Among the men was a former police officer, who later apologized for the incident and denied he was a racist.
Chelsea football club has already barred five fans involved in the metro incident from attending its stadium in London. Under French legislation, the men could face up to three years in jail if found guilty.
