PARIS, FRANCE - Pressure was growing Friday on French authorities after the surprise revelation CCTV footage from the Stade de France during the Champions League final last month has been deleted, wit

h critics alleging a deliberate cover-up.

Opposition politicians seized on the latest revelations about the CCTV footage to hammer the authorities. Police asked Stade de France for the footage, but only on Thursday evening after it became public that the images had been destroyed, a source close to the case told AFP Friday. On Twitter French police said Thursday the images taken by the Stade de France cameras may no longer exist but they still had their images.

"We're heading straight towards a state scandal," the head of the opposition Republicans faction in the Senate, Bruno Retailleau, told RFI radio, adding the destruction of the CCTV footage was an "intentional act ... to make evidence disappear". Lallement and Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin initially blamed the mayhem on as many as 40,000 Liverpool fans who massed at the stadium without tickets or with counterfeit tickets.
