Tromsø stands collapsed during match – police open criminal investigation
Tromsø police have launched a criminal investigation into the collapse of the stands at Romssa Arena on Sunday, according to yle.fi citing Norway's state broadcasting company NRK.
The away section of the stadium collapsed during a match between Tromsø IL and Bodø Glimt on Sunday afternoon. One person was injured in the incident.
Anne Katrine Kjellman, prosecutor for Tromsø police district, confirmed to NRK on Monday afternoon that the case is being treated as a criminal matter.
"The current situation is that the case has the character of a criminal trial. We are at a very early stage and are attempting to draw up a plan for the investigation," Kjellman said.
According to Kjellman, such cases also involve investigating potential corporate liability.
William Frantzen, managing director of TIL, told NRK on Monday morning that the away section would not be used in the club's final two home matches of the season.
"Thorough investigations are now being conducted. We have decided that the stands will not be used in their current form for the rest of this season," Frantzen said.
