“There were 150 Russian supporters who in reality were hooligans,” Brice Robin told a news conference. “These people were well prepared for ultra-rapid, ultra-violent action. These are extremely well trained people.”
Robin said some Russian supporters were turned back on arrival at Marseille’s international airport but that others had arrived overland.
Most of the 35 people who were injured in the fighting were English, the prosecutor said, adding that two Russian nationals were being expelled from the country.
