Leaguepresiding entity javier thebeswill demand greater enforcement power “To be more agile and effective in combating violence, racism, xenophobia and intolerance in sports.After the recent events, the employer’s statement came. vinicius in Mestalla and what actor body would call itself racist. LaLiga claims it has “led the detection and reporting of these behaviors” for years, but felt “powerless to see how its complaints end”.
established enforcement processes
It is important to note that the ten sanction proceedings for xenophobic harassment against the Brazilian player have remained entrenched in the courts: good for those responsible not to be identified or for other reasons that leave these actions without effective punishment. To be exact, four people were arrested this Tuesday, their alleged possession. A Vinicius doll hanged before the derby against Atlético.
“Given this serious situation, in the next few days, LaLiga will formally demand Law 19/2007 of 11 July and Sports Law 39/2022 of 30 December against violence, racism, xenophobia and intolerance in sport.” explains LaLiga in his statement. With this move, he sought to close a gym completely or partially, to ban members or subscribers from entering; and the imposition of economic sanctions. Currently, these decisions are being adopted and published on the portal of the State Commission against Violence. Racism, xenophobia and Sports Intolerance.
Hate Prosecutors fail to act
Referring to this in a statement, LaLiga said it had sent him and the RFEF Competition Committee a “letter that promotes violence at football matches or contains chants of insulting or intolerant content”. Moreover, When insults that can be classified as hate crimes are detectedThe employer reports these facts to the prosecutor’s office.
But when they get to that sample, LaLiga “brutally” observes. How are these complaints made without even reaching the court?or how not every region has uniform criteria for Hate Prosecutors when it comes to classifying these events.” Esteban Ibarra, head of the Movement Against Intolerance, also condemned a situation in his statements to this newspaper.
Police investigation of the accused
“A deficiency we observe affects problem detection. Often times, the complaints we make are Vinicius case in the Metropolitanarchived as its authors could not be identified. And there is videos. This is inexplicable. If hate crimes are not accompanied by police intervention or the security of the club or identification of the accused, it will be difficult for the prosecution to even file a criminal case, which will correspond to that.”
In its letter, LaLiga makes public some of the motivations used to raise their grievances, with arguments such as:From an examination of the accused’s social networks, it is clear that he was not a person with any intention of inciting racism.or that the gestures are intended to achieve such a purpose”; “It was not possible to identify the perpetrators of the incidents”‘by the police authorities’ or ‘undoubtedly typical disrespectful and despicable mannerisms as well as annoying and absolutely undeniable expressions and voices, does not initially appear to have the public offense dimension implied for the present case.”.
LaLiga has decided to go one step further in its legal strategy and go straight to the courts. “But despite this, giving LaLiga more sanctioning capacity will be an effective tool in the fight against racism in sport,” says the employer, detailing the status of cases in which it has participated as an active party. They’re all intertwined at one point or another in the process.the situation in which it seeks enforcement powers.
