It was not immediately clear how Shprygin re-entered France. A message on his Twitter handle said that he had taken an unconventional route and included a photo of a jet belonging to Spanish low-cost carrier Vueling Airlines.
“He was arrested this evening in Toulouse,” a spokesman for the Interior Ministry said.
Also posted on the Twitter feed of Shprygin, who is president of the Russian Supporters Union, was a short video filmed inside the stadium ahead of Russia’s match against Wales.
Shprygin was among 20 Russian fans expelled from France after violence flared before and during the England-Russia match in Marseille.
