Nasraoui was taken to the hospital and is currently in intensive care. He is reported to be out of danger and evolving well from his injuries. Furthermore, he is accompanied by his brother and in constant contact with Lamine, while a representative of Barcelona has also been at the hospital.

Meanwhile, the three people arrested have been charged with attempted murder, reports Xinhua.
