A court in the Spanish city of Valencia has sentenced three football fans to eight months in prison for racially abusing Real Madrid and Brazil star striker Vinicius Junior.
The trio, whose names have not been made public, were found guilty of a crime against moral integrity with the aggravating circumstance of discrimination based on racist motives.
“This first criminal conviction in Spanish history is not for me. It’s for all black people,” Junior wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“But, as I’ve always said, I’m not a victim of racism. I’m a destroyer of racists. Let the other racists be afraid, ashamed and hide in the shadows. Otherwise, I’ll be here to collect the debt,” he wrote in Portuguese.
