Uefa has launched a formal investigation into the events surrounding last weeks attack on four black fans during Dynamo Kyivs Champions League draw against Chelsea.
The Ukrainian club could yet be severely penalised as a result of the latest outbreak of racism in European football, but the announcement by European footballs governing body surprised some who had expected it to implement a punishment rather than initiate what may be a lengthy inquiry.
There was widespread shock after the emergence of footage, obtained by the anti-discrimination network Fare and passed to Uefas disciplinary body, which appears to show a group of Dynamo fans attacking four black men after spotting them in a neighbouring section of seating.
When the men, who were also supporting Dynamo, tried to escape, they appeared to be attacked by other fans in the stand.
