Police release three young men suspected of insulting Vinicius Junior during a game.

On Tuesday, police said three youths arrested on suspicion of racist slurs against Brazilian footballer Vinicius Junior were released after testifying.

According to the EFE news agency, citing police sources, the three youths, aged between 18 and 21, were told they could be called back to give additional evidence.

On Tuesday morning, it was announced the arrest of three young men suspected of uttering racist slurs on Sunday at the Mestalla stadium during the game between Valencia and Real Madrid.

On Monday, a prosecutor’s office spokesman said the possibility that racist slurs against a Brazilian player constituted a hate crime was being investigated.

According to Pilar Bernabe, a delegate from the Valencian Community government, the authorities who identified the three freed youths continue to review images taken on Sunday at the Mestalla stadium and in the immediate area.

On Sunday, during the match against Valencia, the young Brazilian striker of Real Madrid was once again the target of racist abuse from some fans, which caused reactions from different quarters, namely from Brazilian President Lula da Silva and FIFA leader Gianni. Infantino.

Vinicius has been the target of several racist slurs in recent months, and at the end of January he became the protagonist of an episode that resulted in the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) sending a letter to the organizations that govern football (FIFA, UEFA and CONMEBOL) to request specific measures to punish racist behavior and raise awareness about this issue.

The insults of Vinicius at the Mestalla Stadium prompted the Spanish Football League to announce on Tuesday that it will formally request in the coming days to amend the legislation against violence, racism, xenophobia and intolerance in sports after racist insults against Brazilians who demand a change in the law against violence and racism in sports.
