LALIGA President Demands Prison Sentences For Racist Fans

LALIGA President Demands Prison Sentences For Racist Fans

LALIGA president Javier Tebas has stated that there will be more prison sentences for fans who racially abuse players during matches.

The remarks come after a Mallorca supporter was given a one-year prison sentence for racially abusing Vinicius Junior and Samuel Chukwueze in February.

The Supporter was also given a three-year stadium ban , with Tebas revealing they will be sticking with this type of punishment for the foreseeable future.

"This sentence is one of many that may come of those [cases] that are still pending, at judicial level," Tebas told ESPN. 

"We will continue until the end; if we have to put in jail those that shout or sing about racism, we will be there."

Tebas also responded to Getafe winger Christantus Uche's remarks about receiving racist abuse.

"I would have liked him [Uche] to have told me," Tebas added.

"What I ask him is that he does not allow this to happen, that he reports it to his club, to LaLiga, and we will take the appropriate measures. Had we detected it, you can be sure that those people would have been identified and expelled, as has happened in the case of Vinícius and others.

"We have special cameras in the risk zones of the matches where we believe there may be an outcry."
