The Bayreuth district court has sentenced two Dynamo Dresden fans involved in the riots at a 3rd division match in October 2022 to suspended sentences. Both had confessed to the acts they were accused of, as the court announced. In two separate proceedings, they were sentenced to prison terms of two and one and a half years for, among other things, aggravated breach of the peace in conjunction with grievous bodily harm; in both cases, the sentences were suspended on probation. However, the suspended sentences include stadium bans of two and four years. Both sentences are not yet final.
According to the investigators, there had been violent riots in the stadium at the third division match between Spielvereinigung Bayreuth and Dynamo Dresden on October 1, 2022, in which numerous visiting fans were allegedly involved. Among other things, at the start of the second half, they allegedly threw bottles, beer crates and manhole covers at police officers for several minutes and punched and kicked them. Some of them are also said to have looted a food truck in the visitors' block, while others ripped sinks and toilet bowls off the walls.
