Samuel Chukwueze have been granted a breakthrough following a racism incident while back in Spain with the ruling court sentencing the defendant to twelve months in prison, as well as banning him from football stadiums hosting any games in the Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional or by the Real Federación Española de Fútbol for the period of three years, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The suspension of the prison sentence has been made after the defendant apologized and showed his remorse, with a letter addressed to Vinicius Júnior who was also abused at the Son Moix Stadium, during the match between Mallorca and Real Madrid on 5 February 2023 having completed an equality and anti-discrimination program.
The defendant has been found guilty of two offenses of infringing on moral integrity, aggravated by having racist motives, committed against Vinicius Júnior, and also against the footballer Samuel Chukwueze, a Villarreal player at that time, who was subjected to similar abuse at the Son Moix Stadium by the same individual two weeks later.
This isn't the first case of racism reported in Spain, the latest of the incident is Chrisantus Uche's claims over unjust decisions from the referees.
