Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) – A 23-year-old Fortuna Düsseldorf fan was fined 4,500 euros for stealing a scarf from 1. FC Köln. In addition, he must pay the victim 1,800 euros in compensation for pain and suffering, the Düsseldorf district court ordered on Tuesday.
The student is attributed to the Düsseldorf ultra scene. He and three accomplices are said to have torn the scarf from a Borussia Dortmund supporter in the main station in Düsseldorf. The victim is a 28-year-old firefighter from the Düren district. The supporters of Borussia Dortmund and 1. FC Köln have been friends for a long time.
The accused student protested in vain that he had only stood in the second row and done nothing. Cameras on the platform recorded the process. The police had identified the student as part of the group on the surveillance videos. The verdict is not yet legally binding.
