The Prosecutor’s Office has requested the Investigative Court number 10 of Valencia to archive the open investigation into the racist insults that Real Madrid footballer Vinicius received upon his arrival at the Mestalla stadium on May 21.
As sources from the Public Ministry have confirmed to EFE, the prosecutor has adopted this decision due to the impossibility of identifying the authors of the insults, which were recorded in several videos that were published on social networks and later incorporated into the case.
This investigation was opened separately to the case of the racist insults uttered to the same player and to Militao inside the stadium and during the course of the match, in which three young people between 18 and 21 years old are listed as accused and whom the club de Mestalla has banned access to the field for life.
Months later, in July, LaLiga provided the judge with a letter in which it detailed the insults to which the Brazilian defender Militao was subjected, and requested that legal action be offered to him as a victim, like his teammate Vinicius.
As a private accusation, it was LaLiga that presented to the investigating judge several videos of Real Madrid’s arrival at Mestalla in which several young people could be heard shouting the onomatopoeia “uh, uh, uh” or chants of “you’re a monkey” and “Vinicius you are a monkey.”
In its extension of the complaint, LaLiga also attached a publication from the Ultra Yomus Twitter profile in which fans were invited to welcome the team and the investigating judge was told that this group is currently located in the northern end, in the same stands where the fans investigated for racist insults were found.
