MADRID (AP) — Prosecutors are seeking four-year prison sentences for the four people accused of hanging an effigy of Real Madrid player Vinícius Júnior off a highway bridge in the beginning of the year, Madrid’s prosecutors’ office said Tuesday.
Prosecutors also want the four of them to pay a combined total of 6,000 euros ($6,490) in damages.
The effigy of Vinícius
The arrests of the people accused of hanging the effigy of Vinícius came a few days after the player was racially abused in Valencia.
Spain’s anti-violence commission on Tuesday proposed a one-year ban from stadiums for each of the 41 members of radical fan groups who participated in a fight before a Spanish league game between Alaves and Real Betis in October. The commission also proposed a fine of 4,000 euros ($4,300) to each one of them.
The commission said the fighting left numerous people injured and caused damage to some local establishments.
