LaLiga File Charges Following Racial Abuse Of Vinicius Jr Over The Weekend
LaLiga has filed charges before the relevant judicial, administrative and sporting bodies regarding the racial abuse of Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr during the match against Real Valladolid on December 30.
The Brazilian was substituted during Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Real Valladolid and as he walked past, the home fans at the Jose Zorrilla stadium shouted abuse and threw objects at him — there are videos on social media to this effect.
Vinicius has accused LaLiga for their continual refusal to sanction racist fans at football venues.
But on Tuesday LaLiga issued a statement saying it has filed charges regarding the racial abuse of Vinicius.
“A criminal charge for hate crimes has been filed with the Valladolid Magistrates’ Courts, supported by audiovisual evidence gathered in the investigation carried out through images and audio clips published on open sources”, LaLiga said in a statement.
The statement added “LaLiga has also asked the Valladolid Magistrates’ Courts to transfer the complaint to the public Prosecutors Office For Hate Crimes so that it can participate in the case.
In the statement, the Federation said it would increase efforts to “eradicate any kind of violence, racism or xenophobia inside and outside of stadiums”.
