Both fan zones were already at full capacity after the end of the Dutch fan walk. After these zones were closed, individual fans climbed over the fences and entered the public viewing events without being checked. The individuals remained undetected.

During the match, there were physical confrontations between Dutch fans from Rotterdam and Utrecht (so-called risk fans) in several places. The police then took five Utrecht fans into custody.

 

Three suspects, aged between 31 and 52, sold electronic tickets in the Strobelallee area for the soccer match. They received the money for the sale, but tickets that were supposedly purchased were not sent. Police officers arrested them in the act. The special requirements for pre-trial detention were not met. The criminal police are investigating fraud.

Due to the high volume of people and the influx to Dortmund's main station, the police regulated traffic and closed Königswall for a short time.

 

As far as we know today (11. July 2024, 12:00 noon), the police have drawn the following conclusions:

 

 

Trespassing (8)

Bodily harm (22)

Damage to property (1)

Trespassing (2)

Violation of the Explosives Act (4)

Air Traffic Act (2)

Narcotics Act (2)

Fraud. (1)

Theft offenses (2)

Resistance against law enforcement officers (4)

Assault on law enforcement officers (1)

 

A total of 17 people were slightly injured in these offenses (including 7 police officers).

 

The amount of property damage is currently unknown.

The police took 23 Dutch and 3 English fans into custody on the day of the match. They have since been released from custody.

Due to the high attendance on Wednesday in Dortmund, there were significantly fewer crimes compared to matches in the Bundesliga.
