Italian FA Investigating racial abuse on Nigeria International
Nigeria International Victor Osimhen was on the end of racial abuse from Hellas Verona fans in an Italian Serie A match this week.
This occurred throughout the game at the Stadio Bentegodi on Monday evening, which saw Napoli defeat Hellas Verona 5-2.
After getting on the score sheet, the former Lille man kicked the ball into the stands, and then made a mocking ‘crying’ gesture into the camera, referring to those who were hurling racist insults at him.
The Disciplinary Commission has started an investigation into those specific insults, but meanwhile already fined the club €12,000 for ‘territorial discrimination’ chants
This is because insults aimed at those from the South of Italy are treated with the same rules as racist abuse.
It didn't stop there as Hellas Verona fans were also fined an additional €3,000 for supporters throwing objects onto the pitch.
