MADRID — Spanish police have made 13 more arrests of members of radical football groups who allegedly participated in a massive street brawl that left one man dead before a match between Atletico Madrid and Deportivo La Coruna last month.

Police say the 13 people were arrested on Thursday in the northwestern region of Galicia, home to Deportivo.

Police had already arrested 21 men on Nov. 30, the day the fight broke out near the Vicente Calderon Stadium in Madrid.

On Tuesday, police made 37 arrests in Madrid, Avila and Toledo, including two men for killing 43-year-old Deportivo fan Francisco Javier Romero Taboada.
