MOSCOW: The head of Russia’s football supporters’ association on Thursday said Russian fans were the victims of “politicised” treatment at Euro 2016 and blamed French authorities for violence. Alexander Shprygin said the All-Russian Supporters Association was looking at how to bring home three supporters who were jailed in France for taking part in violence in Marseille on June 11 as England played Russia. “The main thing for us at the moment is the fate of these guys and we will be putting in all our efforts in order to sort this out,” Shprygin said. “This is a politicised history and is just unacceptable,” he added.
