A Russian extremist called Alexander Chpriguine, a known associate of ultra right politicians and suspected of organising the violence caused by Russian football fans in Marseilles and Lille, was arrested and deported. He said he would be back in Toulouse for the Wales match.
He flew in to Barcelona where the immigration should have refused entry. But despite being deported from France his visa had not been revoked. Because it was a weekend.
He drove up to Toulouse where he watched the match as a VIP guest of UEFA, having been in the original Russian delegation inspecting venues.
As the police were expecting him to come back they were able to detain him after the match and he will be deported again today. Border security it seems takes the weekends off.
