BFortunately, the costs of racism in Spain are becoming increasingly high. A few hours ago, it was revealed that prosecutors are seeking punishment for Real Oviedo fans who made racist insults towards Kylian Mbappé during the match against Real Madrid at Carlos Taltierre on August 24th.
The prosecutor’s office itself acknowledged that Hwang was in a state of intoxication as a mitigating factor. However, this did not prevent the public prosecutor’s office from demanding a year in prison and more than 2,000 euros in compensation from the French player himself for the psychological damage caused.
The incident mentioned by the prosecutor’s office occurred around the 37th minute of the match, when the Real Madrid player scored the first goal of the match. While celebrating the goal, the accused fan shouted racist insults at the French footballer. In addition to these words, the fan was accompanied by monkey gestures and sounds.
The cameras of Movistar’s “El Dia Despues” program captured everything that happened, and fans were completely exposed on social media. Since then, many media outlets have covered this story. According to the prosecutor’s office, the incidents “had a global impact, racking up more than 305 million views worldwide, resulting in an increased sense of humiliation for the athletes.”
