french court frees croatia fans arrested for nazi salutes

Seven people arrested by French police for making Nazi salutes at the Nations League match between France and Croatia were released on Monday.
A police source said around 10 Croatia supporters had made Nazi salutes at the Stade de France on Sunday, while their national anthem played before the match and several did so during the first half of a game France won 2-0.
But a court in Bobigny, just east of the Stade de France, ruled there was insufficient evidence.
“The videos do not appear to be conclusive and show more fan gestures of support than Nazi salutes,” said the public prosecutor’s office, which has jurisdiction over the Stade de France.
