West Midlands Police have been given a deadline to respond to questions about the accuracy of intelligence that led to the banning of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from a match against Aston Villa. The region's Police and Crime Commissioner has demanded assurances and evidence regarding the reliability of information reportedly provided by Dutch police, which was used to justify the ban. This comes after allegations surfaced that the threat posed by Maccabi fans was overstated, with Dutch authorities disputing claims of violence at a previous match. The police maintain that their actions were based on credible intelligence and focused on public safety, while a parliamentary committee is set to review the matter.
