Paris' police prefect, Laurent Nuñez, appeared before the MPs of the Assemblée Nationale's law committee on the evening of Tuesday, June 10, about the "serious dysfunctions that occurred (…) on the sidelines of the Champions League final" and asked to "shed light on the security plan put in place for the occasion." On May 31, as PSG faced Inter Milan in Munich, certain neighborhoods of the French capital were struck by looting, property damage and clashes.

Footage of crowds surging onto Paris' ring road and clashing with law enforcement officers sparked questions about the security plan. Members of the radical-left La France Insoumise party argued that interior minister Bruno Retailleau should "be held accountable," while the far-right Rassemblement National condemned the night's events as a "security fiasco." Over the weekend, 491 people were taken into custody – a figure not seen since the first "Yellow Vest" protests, in December 2018.

Nuñez tried to defend his officers' actions, which he said, as of June 1, had constituted "neither a success nor a failure." "We were dealing with people who, for a large majority, had only come to loot and destroy. (…) It was anything but a display of sporting joy," he said, taking pains to assert that PSG fans – including ultras – had not been involved in the violent acts. According to him, 70% of the arrested individuals came from Paris' inner and outer suburbs, and one third of them turned out to be minors.
