The death of the British caused the arrest of the bus with Russian fans, ehavshimi from Paris to Lille, where the game will take place on June 15 between the teams of Russia and Slovakia. Police officers stopped the fans near Cannes. Security forces arrested all those who were in the cabin, including women and drivers.

The prefect of the department of Alpes-Maritimes, where the bus was stopped, Adolf Kolra said that the authorities have reason to believe some of the Russians to participate in the riots on June 11.
Four people detained in the bus in the center of Cannes, on the decision of the authorities to be deported from France. With them will go home a few fans who were detained by the police at the hotel on June 12,. The gendarmes have decided that these people can once again take part in fan riots, and therefore it is better to immediately expel.

Earlier, however, it noted that the victim in the fight subject of the British Isles probably received a fatal injury during the conflict with the local people of Arab origin.
Russian officials (with rare exceptions) continue to condemn the actions of the fans in Marseille. But the Russian national team striker Artem Dzyuba stood up for fellow. "I do not understand the reaction of the British media - though here from England came saints and behave culturally. All the blame 50 50. It can not be to blame for the conflict was only one side - you and us and you, above all, keep track of your fans and try to reach them. We can not say that the fault is Russian, "- said the striker in the pre-match press conference on the eve of the game against Slovakia.
However, he admitted that the conditional suspension of the Russian team are concerned team players. Recall that the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) after the events of June 11 warned the Russian team to lift a European Championship when riots involving its fans recur in the stadiums during the remaining matches of the team in the tournament. The decision on deferred disqualification will be valid until the end of 2016 European Championship. On the Russian Football Union also imposed a fine of 150 thousand. Euro.
"The situation we have a little bit annoying. Fire - this is the last century, precisely from this need to get rid of. Already there is a warning, so you need to be (the fans) reasonable, "- said Dzyuba.
It is difficult to say whether he read an interview with the Russian fans, but the evening of June 14, arrived in Lille, they again began to vandalize. According to Western news, small groups of Russian and English fans staged a brawl near the central train station in the northern part of the city.

According to another version, the fight started after the British desecrated the Russian flag: a tricolor fans threw to the ground and began to stomp. This episode captured photos and videokorrespondenty.
This conflict, regardless of who started it can cause toughening of punishment for the Russian national team. Fans of our team demonstrate that the conclusions of the Marseille history, they did not do. The attention of UEFA is not escape, and therefore conditional exception of our team from the tournament may well turn into a real.
