Alarm at the police on this Sunday evening when the Clasico was taking place. While the Parc des Princes was packed for the football match between the Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille teams, a man threatened to “blow up” the legendary football ground in central Paris. “After more than two hours of anxiety, the 29-year-old man was arrested at the end of an intense pursuit by the forces of the police prefecture,” reports a source familiar with the case.
It is 7.45pm on Sunday when a male voice calls the police. This man appears to be angry with the forces of law and order, who had done nothing to help his brother, who had been the victim of a protection racket. “He threatened to plant a bomb in Prince Park and two in the surrounding area,” added a source familiar with the case.
