That was to be expected.

After Saturday's XXL fiasco during the Champions League final at the Stade de France, the Paris police headquarters decided not to skimp on resources by mobilizing no less than 2,000 police and gendarmes, including 650 dedicated to the fight against crime near the Stade de France on Friday to ensure the security of the France-Denmark match.

The PP specified that it was putting in place on Friday a system "oriented on public order, the fight against crime and the regulation of the flow of people".

In addition, she added, “in order to contain the impact of the strike announced at the RATP, a specific flow regulation device is put in place at the exit of the RER D”.

Last Saturday, there was also a strike at the RATP which had affected, according to Mr. Darmanin and the PP, the transport of spectators to the stadium.

Internally, we laugh yellow

To avoid the snatching and other acts of crime that took place on Saturday evening around the stadium, the prefecture has planned to devote just over 600 "staff to the fight against crime in the vicinity and on the outskirts of the stadium. of France, as well as at transport stations.

The protective perimeter of the stadium will be put in place "from 3:00 p.m.".

“The verification of tickets, under the control of the organizer, will be carried out at the level of the access terminals.

The security forces will ensure upstream and on the forecourt to maintain public order and security, ”detailed the PP.

This significant deployment of law enforcement for a meeting which is not considered to be at risk comes after the chaos which surrounded the Champions League final.

Several police sources interviewed by AFP were ironic about the scale of the device planned for Friday, worrying that the fiasco last Saturday did not provoke an investigation into the chain of command.
