A team of police officers dedicated to irradiating violence in sport have successfully prevented an explosive and violent clash between two groups in the vicinity of a football stadium in Murcia.

A total of 30 people were identified as suspects in the case, with a number of arrests taking place. Two of those detained are wanted for questioning in connection with robbery with violence and intimidation.
