San Lorenzo fans were arrested after being racist towards São Paulo present at Morumbi; a banana was thrown towards a minor
Despite the victory of São Paulo over the san lorenzo at Copa Sudamericana, the night was also one of sadness. Argentine fans were racist with the tricolors present at Estádio do Morumbi, imitating monkeys. In addition, a banana was thrown towards a minor from São Paulo, who was moved to tears by what happened.
In one of the stadium’s boxes, a San Lorenzo fan also made monkey gestures. The crimes were recorded on cell phones in Morumbi and forwarded to the police in the complaint made to the authorities. Two Argentines were arrested in flagrante delicto, and will remain detained until the Brazilian Justice decides their fate. It is worth noting that the crime of racism is non-bailable in Brazil.
“These videos (of the fans) made it possible for the police to identify these fans. They are being arrested red-handed for racism. The gesture of imitating a monkey is now considered racism and it is no longer possible to pay bail, he will undergo a custody hearing and will probably remain in prison with his preventive detention decreed.”highlighted César Saad, the delegate in charge of the case, to “ESPN”.
According to information provided by journalist Marcella Azevedo, the boy who cried because he was a victim of racism (when he was hit by a banana) was invited by the São Paulo to watch the team practice on the weekend, just like his father. Both the club and the conmebolhowever, have not yet commented on the case in an official manner.
