Russian fan leader Shprygin back in France at Euro 2016
20 June 2016 Europe
Russian football fan leader Alexander Shprygin has been detained in France, two days after being expelled from the country, French officials say.
He had been put on a flight to Moscow after violence at Russia's Euro 2016 match with England nine days ago.
Having returned to France, Mr Shprygin was arrested in the stadium at Russia's match against Wales in Toulouse.
He is reported to hold far-right views and his All-Russia Supporters' Union is backed by the Kremlin.
