A Spanish court sentenced three men to eight months in prison for targeting Brazilian superstar Vinicius Junior with racist chants during a La Liga match in May 2023.
Vinicius Junior expressed that racism is a norm in La Liga but asserted, 'I am not a victim of racism. I am a tormentor of racists,' emphasizing the historic conviction's importance for all Black people.
La Liga president Javier Tebas hailed the court's decision as a warning to those who engage in racist behavior at stadiums, indicating a positive step in the fight against racism.
Real Madrid noted that the perpetrators were guilty of committing an offence against Vinicius Junior's moral integrity with racist motives, leading to their prison sentences and a ban from La Liga matches for two years.
