STORYLINE:
Police in Greece have arrested five Croatian nationals allegedly involved in deadly soccer fan violence, apprehending them as they attempted to flee the country.
Several dozen soccer fans, many of them Croatian citizens, were taken to court from police headquarters in Athens.
The arrests were announced Wednesday, a day after a 29-year-old Greek fan was stabbed to death outside AEK Athens’ stadium, prompting the cancellation of a Champions League qualifier against Dinamo Zagreb.
The five suspects were detained in the northwestern port of Igoumenitsa as they prepared to board a ferry bound for Italy, police said.
More than 90 other suspects are due to appear before a magistrate in Athens for their alleged involvement in attacks that left 10 people injured.
Four remain hospitalised.

I like how all these hooligans want to cover up their faces now, and DON'T WANT the world to see who they are!
Croatian nazzi-faschist😢
I hope Greeks will destroy them all in jail .
Greeks should make an examle out of thease murderes .
Send them home in body bags.
I, as a Croatian citizen, am saying: put them to jail for years! They disgraced our whole country and our far right government are making EXCUSES for these CRIMINALS! Not only our government but our rusophile President too!
There is NO excuse for what those "fans" have done!
Also, I appeal Greece government to put our Croatian government to it's place!
