Vinicius, before the judge: "You can't do that with black people, who have been affected throughout history"

"They insult me ​​because I am an important player and of the black race, for both things"

   MADRID, 13 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Real Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior assured in his statement by videoconference before the Investigating Court number 3 of Palma de Mallorca for the racist insults received at Mallorca Son Moix that "you cannot do that with black people, who have been affected during the History of Humanity", according to what the newspaper El Mundo published on Thursday.

"You cannot do that with the black people who have been affected during the History of Humanity," said the carioca during his statement, which lasted about 20 minutes and was made by videoconference, in which he insisted that he does not forgive the fans who uttered those insults racists, so it does not waive financial compensation.

During his speech before the judge, as published by El Mundo, Vinícius would have heard the insults and expletives already after the match played in February against Mallorca, thanks to the recordings that were broadcast in the press. And it is that what offended the forward were not the disqualifications that they usually hear from the stands, but those shouts against the color of his skin.

Information from El Mundo revealed that during the judge's interrogation, the player was asked by the defense if when he is called "monkey" it is because he does "monerías". "That will be for white people, not black people," Vinícius responded emphatically, accompanied only by a LaLiga lawyer, who reiterated that they insult him for being "an important and black player, for both things".

During the duel between Mallorca and Real Madrid on February 5, a fan -a 21-year-old member-, caught on camera, yelled at the Brazilian striker 'Vinicius, you're a monkey, you're a fucking monkey!' Faced with these DAZN images, LaLiga filed a complaint with the Palma Courts, understanding that this was the only effective action to censor these attitudes and put an end to them. Immediately, Mallorca withdrew the membership card of said 'vermilion' follower.
