'La Familia' supporters charged

A far-right football fans group, who are known as 'La Familia', are fanatical supporters of Beitar Jerusalem. Yesterday the Israeli court accused 19 members from the group with attempted murder. All were arrested last month and are indict for: 'attempted murder, aggravated sabotage, racist offences and illegal possessions of weapons', while 9 of them are accused for 'drug trafficking' according to police statement. As they all participated in violence against rival supporters, all of them will remain in custody until further notice.
The ultra-nationalist members of 'La Familia' are mostly known for their racist, anti-Arab and anti-Muslim behaviors. When rival supporters attend the Teddy stadium atmosphere is becoming very tense, so extra security and police officers are always present to prevent possible violence.
