Police Raid Dozens of Homes in Probe of Aue Youth Match Attack

The searches follow a June derby that was abandoned after masked assailants injured seven Zwickau supporters, with breach‑of‑the‑peace investigations continuing.

Overview

  • Chemnitz police executed 43 search warrants across the Erzgebirgskreis and Zwickau districts, deploying about 250 officers, identifying 45 suspects aged 16 to 43 and seizing phones, fan clothing, pyrotechnics, spray cans and stencils.
  • No arrests were reported as inquiries into suspected Landfriedensbruch continue, stemming from the June 7 B‑youth match in Grünhain‑Beierfeld that was halted after an attack that left seven Zwickau fans lightly injured.
  • Football authorities recorded the match as a Zwickau win and fined Erzgebirge Aue €2,000, according to regional reports.
  • On the pitch, Eintracht Frankfurt opened the Champions League with a 5:1 win over Galatasaray to lead their group, while Bayern’s Josip Stanisic has a partial ligament injury to his right knee with media estimating an absence ranging from roughly one to three weeks.
  • In separate developments, police in Baunatal are seeking witnesses after a trick theft targeting a senior, and the expanded Women’s Champions League draw handed Bayern and Wolfsburg demanding slates that include Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea and Lyon.
