The Belgian government is donating $345,000 for the victims of the European Cup soccer riot in which 38 people died, Interior Ministry sources reported. The funds will cover medical, transportation, and funeral costs resulting from the May 29 riot between fans of England’s Liverpool club and Italy’s Juventus club. The sources said that Belgian officials also planned to improve efficiency of the national police and other security police, who were widely criticized for failing to stop the rioting.
