PARIS: An Olympique Marseille fan sentenced to jail in Spain after assaulting police officers during a Champions League match at Atletico Madrid was released on bail on Tuesday, the French club said.
The fan, Santos Mirasierra, was released on bail after a Spanish court accepted an appeal lodged by one his lawyers, Marseille said on its website (www.om.net).
Mirasierra was sentenced to 3-1/2 years in prison last week after incidents during a game two months ago. The news of his release came hours before the return leg between Marseille and Atletico in Marseille.
