"Uefa said it issued the ban for "the racist and/or discriminatory behaviour of its supporters" and it was "suspended for a probationary period of one year". Tottenham were fined 26,000 (30,000 euros) by European football's governing body in addition to 1,966 (2,250 euros) for objects thrown by their supporters."
"We can confirm that all three individuals found to be making Nazi salutes towards Eintracht Frankfurt fans have been identified and have received indefinite bans under the club's sanctions and banning policy. The club stands firmly against all forms of discrimination and has therefore taken the strongest possible action."
UEFA imposed disciplinary measures against Tottenham Hotspur following a Champions League fixture at Eintracht Frankfurt's stadium on 28 January. Three supporters made Nazi salutes towards Frankfurt fans during the match, which Spurs won 2-0. UEFA fined the club 26,000 euros for racist and discriminatory behavior and an additional 2,250 euros for objects thrown by supporters. The club received a suspended ban from selling away tickets for one year on probation. Tottenham identified all three individuals responsible and issued them indefinite bans. The club condemned the conduct as utterly abhorrent and stated it contradicts club values. This incident follows a similar investigation by Real Madrid regarding a supporter's alleged Nazi salute.
