A good five months after the riots at the second-division match between 1. FC Magdeburg and Dynamo Dresden, the police are now launching a public manhunt. The police announced that the Magdeburg District Court has now issued orders to publish the identities of three suspects. The individuals are suspected of having participated in the violent riots. Tips can be submitted to the police.
More than 70 police officers were injured during the riots in January. The officers were targeted with fireworks, pelted with barricade fences and stones, and attacked with a manhole cover and sidewalk slabs. Investigations have been launched against the perpetrators on suspicion of attempted murder, serious breach of the peace, and other criminal offenses. A 29-year-old man from Aschersleben had already been arrested in late January on suspicion of attacking and injuring a police officer with a stone slab.
