Two Real Sociedad fans face jail for abusing Vinicius | OneFootball

Two underage members of Real Sociedad are facing a penalty for hate crimes against Vinicius, as reported by Noticias de Gipuzkoa.

The insults and racially-charged behaviors against the Real Madrid forward occurred during the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final held on February 27 at Anoeta.

Television cameras captured the two 20-year-old youths. One appears to be making gestures mimicking a monkey and the other is accused of shouting: “Son of a bitch, fucking monkey”, although the accused denies it.

The Penal Code in its article 510 establishes punishments of "a prison sentence of one to four years and a fine of six to twelve months" for this type of behavior if proven in court.

La Liga, Real, and Madrid have presented themselves as private prosecutors and the club from San Sebastian has already opened a case against them.
