France to deport 50 Russian fans

France plans to deport almost 50 Russian football fans, the head of a Russian supporters' group, Alexander Shprygin, said, adding that French riot police had stopped a bus carrying fans in Cannes who were on their way to Lille.

"Police are now dragging us out of the bus, they've announced deportation. No reasons are being given. There are 50 people in the bus. This is some kind of show-off, none of us were detained in Marseilles riots, but for some reason they're targeting the official fans union delegation," Sputnik cited Shprygin as saying.
