LaLiga expands the complaint for racist insults to Vinicius Jr. to those he received outside Mestalla

LaLiga presented on June 13 before the investigating court number 10 of Valencia an extension of the demand for the insults that Vinicius Jr. received on May 21 not only at the Mestalla stadium in the 72nd minute of the Valencia-Real Madrid match, for which there are three defendants, but also for those who directed a group of fans outside the field around two hours before the start of the match.

The lawyers of the employer's association directed by Javier Tebas have asked the court that, although it rejected the videos provided by the Prosecutor's Office of what happened in the vicinity of the field in the case that is being pursued against these three fans, it should not be obvious that in those recordings there are “indications of criminality” by at least five young people who can be clearly identified.

In his writing, he also includes that in that video it can be seen that some fans shout 'uh uh uh' as well as insults of 'monkey' or 'Vinicius you are a monkey'. For LaLiga, the video provided by the Prosecutor's Office allows these young people to be clearly recognized as alleged perpetrators of a crime against moral integrity, which carries sentences of between six months and two years in prison.

In addition, it provides as information that the ultras fans of Yomus made an appeal to receive Valencia that day, without specifying if they consider that both issues are related.

Faced with this evidence provided by the Prosecutor's Office itself, LaLiga sees itself as a duty to denounce and asks the judge to issue an order to the Police to compare the images of the videos provided by the Public Ministry with the images of the UCO cameras of the stadium , so that it is identified “if the subjects who belittled Vinicius because of their race when the bus arrived accessed the stands”. If they were located, identification would be possible with the help of Valencia CF.

In the event that this is the case, either in the open procedure or in another that is investigated in parallel, LaLiga makes its interest in being a private prosecution known.

This request for investigative proceedings to be opened is in addition to the investigations that the National Police opened on the 1st to identify the perpetrators of the same racist shouts outside the field that were recorded on social networks.
