Kestone CopsBelgian police broke up a home game  last week arresting 13 players and confiscating €16,000 according to RTLinfo.be.

Players were interviewed by the police before being released while the organizer was brought before a local magistrate who charged him and a court appearance is likely in the near future.

The organizer could face between six months and five years in prison and a fine of up to €51,000 according to his lawyer.
