French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin and French Sports Minister Amelie Odea Castera confirmed that there was a surplus of 30,000 to 40,000 fans who tried to enter the Stade de France with or without fake tickets.

However, the figures are being questioned by both the British and the French, who have held the government and security forces responsible for the mismanagement of the incident.

Two weeks ago, the French justice opened an investigation into allegations of forgery of a series of fraudulent tickets for the Champions League final.

The Bobigny court investigated the entry of fans into the stadium in the middle of the match, which was marred by chaotic scenes of fans confronting the authorities.

Previously, the chief of the Paris police, Didier Lalment, asked the public prosecutor’s office to investigate “massive fraud with false tickets” which, according to him, was responsible for a large crowd gathering outside the stadium and paralyzed the security system and even at the start of the game, which was already delayed.
