Seven Romanians arrested for arms possession ahead of European game

Seven Romanians were arrested on the border between Greece and Bulgaria for weapons possession on Thursday as police continued to probe the fatal stabbing of a Greek football fan, officials said.

The Greek fan was stabbed to death on the outskirts of Athens on Tuesday during a brawl between rival club supporters before a Champions League qualifying round match between AEK Athens and Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb.

“Seven foreigners have been arrested for breaking the law on possession of weapons,” a police statement read.
