The Municipal Police prevented a pitched battle between ultras during the match between Atlético de Madrid and Sevilla in the vicinity of the Wanda Metropolitano, on May 15.
It all started with a preventive device, led by the Judicial Coordination Unit, which seized 590 counterfeit items: scarves, t-shirts, caps, sweatshirts, shields and stickers, in various surrounding stalls.
Until then, all normal. But, around 6 in the afternoon, together with the agents of the UID of San Blas-Canillejas, they approached the area of the bars that the mattress ultras usually frequent. There was a crowd there but they noticed a badly parked car on Calle de la Esfinge. It was a Volkswagen Polo and its driver was out there.
Drunk.
The subject, like the rest of his friends, was wearing a black t-shirt and the sign of Suburbios Firm, Atlético ultras run by a guy nicknamed Ratilla. They are, like the Atlético Front, radicals ‘twinned’ with the Supporters Sur, those of Betis, also of far-right ideology, unlike the Biris of Sevilla.
Minutes before, the agents had found hidden in some nearby planters an alcotana (a kind of pickaxe), a hammer, an extendable baton and a wooden stick 1.20 meters long.
The surprise came when, when asking the young man from the Golf to open the trunk, they discovered nine other wooden sticks in it, identical to the previous one.
The 29-year-old individual was identified and did not hold back in his explanations about those objects that could be used as weapons: “The car belongs to my mother. And yes, I belong to Suburbs Firm. I don’t have a ticket for the match but, since we were going to meet the Biris, we weren’t going to come empty-handed to be beaten up.” He was penalized for improper parking and possession of dangerous instruments.
