The Nice supporter who attacked Dimitri Payet escapes a prison sentence.

Tony Calzoni, a 28-year-old temp worker and OGC Nice supporter since childhood, thus avoids a prison sentence. However, his sentence includes a two-year probation period and a “mandatory treatment” requirement. He will also need to prove “employment or enrollment in a training program.” “There is no imprisonment; we did not intend to make an example,” the president clarified when delivering the verdict.
The Nice supporter is also banned from the stadium “for five years, which is the maximum ban,” the president added. He will have to “report to the police station for each match between Nice and OM,” but he will be exempted for other OGC Nice matches.
The match will be replayed on October 28 next at Troyes, on neutral ground.
