Athletistic / Football. The prosecutor’s office in the German city of Koblenz has opened proceedings against former Mainz midfielder Anwar El-Ghazi. The reason was his social media posts in support of Palestine.

In his messages, El-Ghazi made it clear that Israel should not exist and that all disputed lands should belong to Palestine. Recall that the club has already terminated the contract with the winger.
