Three Russian football supporters have been jailed for up to
two years by a French court on Thursday for their role in the violence in Marseille before the
England-Russia Euro 2016 match.
Alexei Yerunov, Nikolai Morozov and Sergei Gorbachev were
among 43 Russian supporters detained by French police in southern France on
Tuesday after the pitched battles which left more than 30 people
injured.
Yerunov, 29, who is supporters’ liaison officer at Lokomotiv
Moscow according to the club’s website, received the longest prison sentence of
24 months.
He admitted he was at the scene of an attack on an English
supporter who was left in a critical state after being beaten around the head
with an iron bar.
Gorbachev was jailed for 18 months while Morozov, 28,
received the shortest sentence of 12 months.
