French club call for justice after fan dies
Toulouse have called for justice to be done after the tragic death of one of their supporters.
Brice Taton was injured, along with another French fan and a Serbian, after a clash between rival supporters shortly before Toulouse's 3-2 Europa League victory over Partizan Belgrade on 17th September.
The 28-year-old then underwent chest surgery and had been in a critical condition in hospital in Belgrade, but has sadly died.
Ten people have been arrested and Toulouse want justice to be done by the Serbian authorities.
Unspeakable violence
A statement on
www.tfc.info read: "TFC are in mourning following the announcement of the tragic death of Brice Taton, victim of unspeakable violence.
"Our thoughts go first to his parents in Belgrade, his family, his friends, his Forza Viola partners and all the family that are the supporters of Toulouse Football Club.
"It is a time for contemplation. But the time will come when this outburst of violence on the outskirts of sport has to be severely punished.
"Toulouse Football Club will see to it that justice will be done, and will be an unfailing support to Brice's family."
Punished
Secretary of state for sports Rama Yade also stressed that the French government will do everything in their power to ensure that those responsible are punished.
She said in a statement: "We will fight against the criminals in sport.
"I call for the strongest severity against those responsible for this murder and draw on the efforts of the Serbian authorities not to leave this crime unpunished."
