User convicted of racism against Vinicius and Rudiger on a forum

For the first time, a user has been sentenced for racist attacks and insults on the internet. Real Madrid shared through an official statement the sentence of the Court of Parla in which a user was sentenced to eight months in prison for offences of this nature against Vinicius Jr and Antonio Rudiger.
The convicted person carried out these attacks under different psuedonyms on the forum of the Spanish newspaper 'Marca'. A fan, according to the club, was the one who brought the incident to the attention of the authorities, for which they have publicly expressed their gratitude.
This ruling is the first in cyberspace, but the second in terms of racism in football. Just over a month ago, it was announced that the three spectators who hurled such insults at the former Flamengo player at the Mestalla during Valencia's match against Madrid on 21 May 2023 were sentenced to eight months in prison.

"Real Madrid C.F. announces that the Parla Court of Instruction No. 5 has today handed down a guilty verdict against a person who, acting under various pseudonyms on the digital forum of the Marca newspaper, directed serious racist attacks and insults against our players Vinicius Junior and Antonio Rüdiger.
The accused was found guilty of two offences against moral integrity committed against Vinicius Junior and Antonio Rüdiger, both aggravated by the fact that they acted with racist motives and, in the case of Antonio Rüdiger, also in contempt of his religion.
The court ordered the accused to serve eight months in prison and not to participate in the above-mentioned forum for 20 months. The suspended prison sentence was made conditional on the defendant's participation in an equal treatment and non-discrimination programme.
This is the second criminal conviction for the racist insults received by Real Madrid players, which in this case and for the first time, has sanctioned the intolerable attacks of this nature that also occur on digital forums and social networks.
Real Madrid, which, together with Vinicius Junior, has acted as the private prosecutor in the proceedings, will continue to work to protect the values of our club and to eradicate any racist behaviour in the world of football and sport.
Finally, Real Madrid is grateful for the cooperation of the fan who, upon detecting the insults that have been condemned in the Marca newspaper forum, brought them to the attention of the authorities and our club."​
