Football fan turned away from South Korea An England fan has become the first to be refused entry to South Korea amid measures designed to keep football hooligans away from the World Cup. A***** C***** was detained after arriving on a flight to Seoul, the National Criminal Intelligence Service says. The Derby County fan is being held at the airport and is expected to be sent back to England on the next available flight. An NCIS spokesman says although C****** had no banning order against him, he was sentenced to four months' jail in 1999 for possessing CS gas. Local police are understood to have warned him his details had been sent to the Japanese and South Korean authorities and he was advised against going. The NCIS spokesman says it shows the precautions taken by the English authorities are working. "People without banning orders who think they can get in behind the backs of the authorities are finding out that they cannot," he said. "British law enforcement is totally serious about making every effort to prevent known hooligans ruining the tournament for others." The spokesman added: "It is a lot of money to waste to be refused entry to countries a long way away." Story filed: 13:12 Sunday 19th May 2002
