Two men are set to face trial in February before the correctional court for allegedly violently assaulting a couple, one of whom is a local council member, as they were leaving a football match between OL-Le Havre on August 29. The incident occurred at the conclusion of a match played at the Groupama Stadium in Lyon, France. The Lyon prosecutor's office confirmed the details to AFP on Monday, September 7. The alleged victims were leaving the stadium after the match when they were attacked by the two suspects. The nature of the assault has not been fully detailed in the official statement, but the involvement of a local council member has drawn attention to the case, given the potential political and public implications. The correctional court is a judicial body in France that handles less severe criminal cases, typically those with sentences of less than five years. This trial will be held under this court's jurisdiction, indicating the severity of the charges is not considered to be at the highest level of criminal offenses in the country. The announcement comes as the French justice system continues to process cases related to public disturbances and violence, especially those occurring in sports events, which have seen increased scrutiny in recent years. The trial is expected to provide more clarity on the events of August 29 and the circumstances surrounding the alleged assault.
