Disciplinary opens a file for racist shouts at Vinicius at Mestalla

This Tuesday’s resolution Disciplinary Committee regarding the sanction of Vinicius This opens up another parallel scenario in the two meetings for the Brazilian and the possible appeal. And this is the rare file that he announced that he will open the possible racist insults to the Brazilian player reported by the white club: “Serious racist insults in the moment before the expulsion that were not recorded in the minutes nor did they prompt any action by the match referee“.

In this regard, the disciplinary body responded by opening an unusual file to determine the facts: “… that the singing of songs that incite violence and that constitute an open contempt for the people participating in an assembly, as well as any action that involves harassment or humiliating treatment against any person because of their race, is constitute serious violations from a point of view from a legal point of view, in addition to being absolutely intolerable and condemned, without any kind of palliative or reason, from any point of view or consideration. It is up to all institutions, including this Committee, club groups and fans, to use all necessary measures and attitudes for its adequate punishment, prevention and eradication. Therefore, having today received a complaint from the LNFP about the chants that were performed at the meeting in question, this Committee will initiate the appropriate extraordinary file so that it can explain, with all guarantees, the facts that can be proven and the imposition, where appropriate, of appropriate penalties“.

This means that an instructor will be appointed to carry out the file and that he will forward the proposed sanction, if any, to the Committee. A penalty could mean partial stadium closures, if they are found, as was the case in May 2023. But for that the information that can be collected will be key.
