The seven defendants were part of a far-right group consisting of 40 members who were detained for carrying knives and "intending to cause unrest" and "pick a fight" with Moroccan fans, the broadcaster said. One of them is 24-year-old Marc de Cacqueray-Valmenier, a leader of the Zouaves Paris far-right group. He was previously arrested for violent behavior during a rally staged by far-right politician and head of the Reconquete party Eric Zemmour in late 2021, when the latter announced his presidential bid. A total of 26 people remain in custody, while 12 others were released. Six activists were placed on civil rights and obligations probation and prohibited from entering the French capital. According to Le Monde newspaper, 266 people were detained after the Wednesday game across France, with 167 in Paris alone.
