Christian Estrosi's accusations

The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, accused the Prefecture of Alpes-Maritimes of having lit the first spark of the incidents that marred the aftermath of Nice-Bastia (0-1), on Saturday in Ligue 1. However, Adolphe Colrat, Prefect of Alpes-Maritimes, defends himself from being responsible for the incidents of the match.
