A young man is accused of directing a racist insult at Vinicius during a recent match, labeling the Real Madrid forward with a derogatory term and alleging that the player displayed aggression toward opponents and referees. In a document presented by his attorney to the Palma court, which is examining the case as a potential hate crime, the defendant contributes three videos in which Vinicius is heard using profane language and in which the footballer is shown allegedly pushing or striking opponents and a referee. The young man is urging La Liga and Real Mallorca to disclose whether Vinicius has faced any prosecutions for his on-field conduct.
Although the document obtained by Diario de Mallorca from the Prensa Ibérica group does not introduce a new theory about the evidentiary value, the cited legal sources suggest that the suspect intends to emphasize what he perceives as impunity for Vinicius and provocations he faced from rival teams.
The defense of the Mayorkacı, who is under investigation for alleged racist insults before the judge, released a trailer of the February 5 match between Real Mallorca and Real Madrid. The footage reportedly shows the accused directing insulting remarks during the game, with a 24-second clip alleging that a Madrid player attacked the Mallorca club official, knocked him to the ground, and struck him in the neck and face.
The second clip, 22 seconds long, covers a later February 18 clash between Real Madrid and Osasuna. It features Vinicius allegedly directing insults toward the referee Munuera Montero while using explicit language. The lawyer cites a January 13, 2019 incident in which Betis played Real Madrid, noting that defender Marc Bartra was called derogatory terms on a similar basis.
In addition to these excerpts, the defense also referenced a report from La Vanguardia stating that Vinicius insulted the referee during the Osasuna match, which was captured on television cameras.
In summary, the defense has asked the judge to request that La Liga and Real Mallorca report on any bodies involved as special prosecutors in the case, and to clarify whether any video evidence reflects physical or verbal attacks, whether a file has been opened, and what sanctions, if any, were imposed on Vinicius in such instances.
Martina Mora, who heads the Palma investigative court handling the case, has collected the documents, but according to the cited sources, neither La Liga nor Real Mallorca has responded to the defense’s request.
The accused testified before the judge at the beginning of April. He reportedly admitted to having used the term described as a racist insult toward Vinicius and expressed remorse for those words. The young man, who is a member of Real Mallorca, was subsequently removed from the club. Vinicius, for his part, said he was hurt by such expressions, which he states are often heard on the pitch where he competes as a visiting player.
