A court in Warsaw will hold hearings on Tuesday on the appeal by three Russian football fans jailed in Poland on charges of hooliganism during Euro 2012, the Russian Embassy in Poland said.
At least 162 Poles and 25 Russians were arrested after Polish hooligans attacked several thousand Russian supporters marching to celebrate a national holiday before the two sides played out a 1-1 draw on June 12.
Only three Russian fans, who received up to three-month jail terms following the clashes, remain in custody.
The Russian Football Union was fined a total of €215,000 for fan hooliganism after three group games that ended with Russia’s elimination from the tournament.
Russia was fined €120,000 and given a suspended six-point deduction for the next qualification tournament when some fans assaulted Polish stewards, reportedly leaving four requiring hospital treatment after the game against the Czech Republic on June 8.
The pyrotechnics use, illicit banners and pitch invasion of Russian fans during a second group match against co-hosting Poland in Warsaw on June 12 resulted in a €30,000 penalty.
The third fine, which was put at €35,000, was issued for illegal banners and flares during the 1-0 defeat to Greece that eliminated Russia from the tournament on June 16.
Over 100 Russian fans were temporarily detained during the tournament.
