Yesterday was Saturday Seville announced that he will report to the Competition Committee of RFEF the video is Real Madrid TV perform against the referee tomorrow against the Andalusian team, Díaz de Mera. Now two things can happen. The first considered that there was no legal basis to sanction Real Madrid television under the argument that the club owns the channel but does not necessarily own the content it broadcasts. In fact, this is not the first time that a possible complaint has been raised against these types of videos. The arbitration establishment itself has done this in the past but they did not take definitive action from the RFEF’s own legal services because they had no legal guarantee of success.
The second is that, since this is an external complaint and as we already reported yesterday in MD, the RFEF will appoint an investigating judge for this extraordinary procedure that can last up to a month and where it will have to submit a sanction proposal to the Competition Committee. . In this case, and at the time a procedure opens, LaLiga intends to appear there to accompany the case in Sevilla against these weekly videos about the referees of the First Division.
They consider that they clearly exceed the freedom of expression, because the Sevillian club also reflects in its writing, and it is a continuous action. The problem lies in the existing legal vacuum in this matter because the general law of audiovisual communication allows each medium to have its own editorial line and programming.
Initially, the basis on which the Competition Committee, and the investigating judge himself, can act, is article 106 of the Disciplinary Code regarding statements in any way about members of the arbitration collective or members of the regulatory guarantee body, where possible penalties are collected.
In it he clarified that “the making by any person subject to sporting discipline of statements by any means in which the honesty and impartiality of any member of the arbitration panel or of the bodies of the RFEF are questioned; as well as statements indicating disapproval of the activity of any member of the aforementioned groups when they are made with contempt or when offensive, insulting, humiliating or bad language, will be punished.“.
When about “soccer players, technicians, physical trainers, delegates, doctors, ATS/FTP or material managers“establishing a party and economic sanctions”from four to twelve game suspensions and fines in the amount of 601 to 3,005.06 euros“. And also with if this is the case of clubs.”In the case of directors, clubs or any person or entity, with a fine of 601 to 3,005.06 euros“.
