Euro 2016: France expels Russia fan chief Shprygin


The far-right leader of the Russian footballer supporters' association has being thrown
out of France after violence at the England-Russia Euro 2016 match in Marseille.
Alexander Shprygin is among 20 Russian fans being deported.
They were detained on Tuesday while travelling from Marseille to Lille to watch Russia
face Slovakia.
The arrests angered Moscow, who summoned the French ambassador in protest.
Mr Shprygin's All-Russia Supporters Union is backed by the Kremlin. He is reported to
hold far-right views and has been photographed giving a Nazi salute.
