The complaint now available simply states that there were violations of the Pyrotechnics Act. Since 2018, the burning of pyrotechnics of all kinds has been banned in Austrian stadiums without exception.
Dense clouds of noise, flashes of fire in series
In Grödig, rockets were fired into the night sky for minutes at halftime. For this purpose, so-called Bengalos and various firecrackers were set off. Thick clouds of smoke drifted through and over the stands.
Austria Salzburg is now asked to comment. This should come too. And the case should then be heard within two weeks. When it comes to fines, a general rule of thumb is one hundred euros per rocket.
Old suspended sentence would also be added
The fireworks are actually counted in such violations. The capped maximum penalty is 20,000 euros. However, for repeat offenders, as in the case of the Austria fans, it can be increased by half. The club management also assumes this.
In addition, there was a conditional penalty imposed following the game once morest Sturm Graz last year. This is 4,300 euros. If this happens, the maximum fine might be 34,300 euros. The fans apparently want to raise part of it themselves. The club’s management said following the game that the club would have to pay the rest.
ÖFB might offset TV money and bonuses
Should there be a conviction – which is likely given the TV images – the football association will withhold the TV money and bonuses and offset them once morest the penalty at Austria Salzburg.
