The chairman into the inquiry assessing how events were handled on the night of Liverpool's Champions League final with Real Madrid has branded Gerald Darmanin's claims as "bull****".
And French opposition minister Francois-Noel Buffet, who is co-chair of the inquiry that is looking into the chaos outside the Stade de France on May 28, has slammed interior minister Mr Darmanin for effectively falsifying claims over the number of "fake tickets" in circulation on the night.
Thousands of supporters of both clubs were subjected to horrendous treatment from French police and local gangs as they queued to get inside the ground for the European showpiece last month.
