Alex Agelopoulos: Alleged Melbourne pitch invader banned from soccer games

·

An alleged soccer hooligan accused of injuring a player during a “notorious” pitch invasion in Melbourne with a bucket faced Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, The Herald Sun has reported.

23-year-old Alex Agelopoulos appeared via video, telling the court he was currently on “vacation” in Newcastle, New South Wales. He was represented by lawyer Martin Amad.

According to The Herald Sun, Agelopoulos asked the court for his bail conditions to be changed to allow him to live at an address in Northcote in Melbourne’s inner northeast.

Agelopoulos is currently banned from soccer games after handing himself in on December 19 when police released images of people they wanted to speak to over a pitch invasion at a derby match between Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory on December 17 at AAMI Park.

He was given bail under strict orders not to attend AAMI Park or the surrounding precinct, not to attend any A-League match and not to attend any level match of Melbourne Victory.
