Security measures without limits: Alba Berlin loses against Maccabi Tel Aviv

At the Euroleague basketball game between Alba Berlin and Maccabi Tel Aviv on Thursday in the Uber-Arena there was a strong police force to prevent possible anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic protests. The police had mobilized 1,800 civil servants to secure the event, and in contrast to worry about unrest, the game remained without any noteworthy incidents. Only two spectators were led by the security forces when they showed a Keffiyeh, a typical Palestinian cloth. This information confirmed the RBB, which the police reported that there were also detection dogs in action and extensive checks took place. The number of spectators remained under the expectations of 4,897, which was explained by the tense security situation and the high police presence, as was found by Yahoo Sports.

safety precautions and event

In the run -up to the game, far -spacious barriers around the Hotel of the Israeli team and the arena were set up. There was a sensational ban on knives in the affected areas to ensure the safety of fans. The Senator for the Interior, Iris Spranger, said that people who were considered potential troublemakers were excluded from access to the hall. The clear focus of the security measure was to secure the peaceful implementation of the event, especially after the incidents during a previous game between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax Amsterdam. Despite the high security measures, Alba Berlin disappointed the fans and lost 85: 103 against Maccabi Tel Aviv, as was also recorded in the reports by RBB and Yahoo Sports.
