A compliance between the defense of the Blanquivioleta fans, Adrián P, Mario S, Luis Miguel T, Miguel Ángel T. and David A, the Prosecutor’s Office and the player’s representative and who will be official in the hearing that will be held on May 21 at the Valladolid Audience where the President Magistrate will anticipate the ‘In Voce’ ruling.
The agreement, to which Europa Press has had access to legal sources, reflects that in the course of the meeting corresponding to the 15th day of the First Division, around minute 88, the investigated directed insults as “son of a bitch, monkey fucking, black, fucking fag …” When he was replaced and headed to his bench.
Insults that are constitutive of two crimes of hatred and against discrimination by having the “undoubted intention to humiliate and injure the dignity of the player for obvious racist motifs” and that were documented “by several recordings made by fans who witnessed the match from different points of the stands” and that were published “on social networks.”
“Such expressions had great public repercussion at national and international level. They have given rise to the opening against the accusations of administrative files of sanction currently suspended by the State Commission against Violence, Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance in Sport,” says the letter.
Specifically, of the five fans, four have accepted sentences of one year, special disqualification for the right to passive suffrage during the time of the sentence, a fine of nine months at a rate of 6 euros day with a subsidiary personal responsibility of one day for each unpaid quota or fraction in the terms of article 53 of the Criminal Code. In addition, a special disqualification for educational profession or trade, in the teaching, sports and free time, for a time of 4 years.
Only one of them has a different penalty in regard to the fine, being financially sanctioned with nine months at a rate of four euros a day, according to the agreement.
There will be no payment of compensation since the Real Madrid striker has renounced them.
The sentence, once official, will be communicated to the State Commission against Violence, Racism, Xenophobia and Sports intolerance, for the purposes of the administrative files initiated.
