Argentines are arrested in the act at Morumbi for racism against São Paulo fans
São Paulo had a Morumbi with more than 51 thousand people to scare away the bad phase that haunted the team and qualify for the quarterfinals of CONMEBOL Sudamericana. However, the stadium was also the scene of regrettable acts of racism.
During the game, San Lorenzo fans imitated monkeys towards São Paulo.
An Argentine fan even threw a banana at a São Paulo minor, who was moved to tears by the episode.
In one of the boxes, a San Lorenzo fan also made monkey gestures against the São Paulo crowd.
The incidents were recorded by cell phone cameras and reported to the police in the complaint filed with the authorities.
In all, two San Lorenzo fans were arrested red-handed for racism.
“These videos 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 racist and it is no longer possible to pay bail, it will undergo a custody hearing and will probably remain in prison with his preventive detention decreed”, said the delegate César Saad.
The Argentine fans will remain in prison until the Brazilian courts decide if and when they can be freed.
