“No football debate, whatever it may be, about celebrations around a goal or any other, justifies the commission of a set of illicit acts that involve racist and xenophobic hate speech and crimes, in the networks, media, surrounding or inside of a playing field”, indicates the writing.
“These facts make this soccer player a victim of racism, xenophobia and intolerance,” the organization said.
The Movement Against Intolerance announced the filing of the complaint after ultra fans of Atlético de Madrid sang chants such as “Vinícius you are a monkey” in the vicinity of their stadium, before the derby against Real Madrid (1-2), after the controversy generated by his way of celebrating goals and his possible gestures in case of scoring against the rojiblancos.
For the Movement Against Intolerance, the Hate Crimes Prosecutor’s Office must intervene given that the Criminal Code “expressly prohibits demonstrations that are held in order to commit a crime and sanctions their promoters or directors.”
The organization has confirmed that it has also sent a letter to the president of the CSD, José Manuel Franco, in which he reminds him that this type of behavior is prohibited and sanctioned by the Sports Law and asks the Anti-Violence Commission to adopt the sanction measures foreseen , according to the different responsibilities that can be determined, “from the obligations of the organizers of the event to the group of ultras who are the protagonists of the events”.
