It added that these insults and gestures took place in front of a “large television, radio and media audience.” La Liga and Real Madrid came into play in this case. Sevilla, on the other hand, expelled the fans at the time as soon as the facts were known.<\/p>\n

The one-year and nine-month prison sentence could be increased to a two-year ban from stadiums.<\/p>\n
