Police look for Vinicius Junior’s aggressors on traffic cameras – 01/30/2023 – Sport

The police are trying to identify on traffic cameras the fans who hung a black doll with the player Vinicius Junior’s shirt by the neck on a bridge in Madrid, last Thursday (26). Clues are also sought in videos posted on social media.

The information was revealed at a meeting this Monday morning (30th) at the Public Ministry, in which 14 representatives of various Spanish institutions discussed ways to contain and punish “violent, racist, xenophobic and intolerant conduct that is frequently manifested in the sports stadiums”.

In a note distributed after the extraordinary meeting, the State Commission against Violence, Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance, linked to the Ministry of Culture and Sport of Spain, announced that Vinicius Junior’s case transcends the administrative field and enters the criminal field.

It was the first time that the commission met in the Public Ministry building in Madrid. There were two reasons for this. First, the judiciary wanted to give greater visibility to the case. The Spanish press, despite reporting it, paid more attention to the game that Real Madrid played that day than to the hanged dummy.

Second, according to officials from the MP, called the Fiscalía General del Estado, considers that there has been an increase in demonstrations of hatred and wants to follow the matter more closely.

As for the cries of “monkey”, received by the same Vinicius Junior in a game against Valladolid, on December 30, the security bodies stated that they continue to analyze the images of the game and propose fines of € 4,000 (R$ 22 thousand) to possible culprits, in addition to a ban from sporting events for one year.
