Incidents at the Dynamo – UTA Arad match

On March 8, “Dynamo” fans fought with “Steaua” fans both near the stadium and in the arena. Fans entered the field and used pyrotechnics, the gendarmerie reported.

On the territory of the stadium, before the start of the match, fans of the “Dynamo” team, located on the Second Tribune, threw pyrotechnics at the gallery of the visiting team, located on the Southern Pelusia. They entered the playing surface, challenging the visiting fans to participate in the scandal, as a result of which the latter descended from the lawn onto the playing surface, igniting the conflict.

In order to settle the situation, the police intervened, and the fans of the two teams were dispersed to designated places.

Rapid gallery manager arrested in another case

Last week, the leader of the team’s gallery, Liviu Ungurian, known as Boccu, was pre-arrested in a criminal case for the use of prohibited materials during matches of the football team “Rapid”.

The president of Rapid, Daniel Nikulae, also appeared in this case, but the prosecutor’s office did not choose a preventive measure against him.

Initially, 16 members of the gallery were detained, three of whom were issued arrest warrants by the court.
