It is expected that in the near future the police leadership will conduct a disciplinary investigation against six MAT squads, because in essence it was a refusal to carry out an order, which amounts to a riot.

Let us remind you that on December 7, near the Melina Mercuri sports complex, a clash occurred between football fans and special police units MAT (analogous to riot police). One of the fans fired a naval flare towards the police officer, which hit the officer in the leg. The rocket explosion left the police officer with severe burns to his thigh and tissue necrosis, which forced doctors to amputate his leg.

Enraged police detained all visitors to the sports complex without exception (including women, children and journalists) and sent them to a nearby transit prison. A few hours later, after collecting fingerprints and DNA, they began to be released.
