In all, 7 people were arrested on hate crime charges.
Spanish police announced on Tuesday (23) the arrest of at least three Valencia fans who participated in the racist attacks against Real Madrid striker Vinicius Júnior at the Mestalla stadium.
Local authorities also confirmed the arrest of four other people suspected of having faked the Brazilian’s hanging on a bridge in Madrid in January. Overall, the seven people were arrested for hate crimes.
The action of the agents of the European country is seen as a response to the great international pressure that arose after the insults of the Valencia fans against Vini Jr.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti attended a press conference and once again showed firmness in the fight against racism.
“We are all worried about what happened. I think it is right that there is a lot of talk about this topic, because it is a great opportunity to try and improve things. I would like to say that Spain is not a racist country, but there is racism, and that has to change,” said the Italian.
In addition to confirming that the Real Madrid star is “sad”, the Spanish team commander has called for more action from the authorities.
“Let me be clear, Vinicius Júnior is a victim of all this. He is sad and didn’t train today because he had a little discomfort in his knee. It’s very nice to condemn, but it’s not enough, I want all of this to be put into practice,” he commented Ancelotti.
The various racist attacks against Vini Jr. increased the chances that the striker would leave the meringues, but the Italian manager does not believe in the departure of the 22-year-old striker.
“I don’t think so, because he loves playing football and loves Real Madrid, his love for the club is great and he wants to make a career here. He hasn’t given up hope,” he concluded. .
