The 94 persons arrested after violent clashes between rival football team supporters in the Athens district of Nea Philadelphia will appear before a public prosecutor on Wednesday.

Police also announced the arrest of another five Croatians in connection with the deadly incidents on Monday night, in which an AEK football fan was murdered. They were detained late on Tuesday in Igoumenitsa as they prepared to board a ferry to Italy.

A 19-year-old Croat detained at the Kakavia border crossing on Tuesday as he attempted to leave Greece on a coach to Tirana has also been placed under arrest.

The Greek police have set up road blocks throughout Greece, especially at the borders and exits, in order to arrest those that participated in the deadly incidents. According to sources, at least 50 of the Croatian hooligans are still at large, while forensic investigation and DNA analysis are being employed to identify the perpetrator of the murder.
