Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior currently has three cases of racism open, after a series of depressing events since the World Cup.
The Anti-Violence Committee, who deal with all cases of discrimination, are currently investigating the actions of Real Valladolid fans who racially abused Vinicius and the incident which saw a mannequin wearing a Vinicius shirt hung from an overpass.
The Valladolid fans in question are set to be fined €4k and banned from sporting events. Real Valladolid have also announced that they will conduct their own investigation once they have the police report, taking the necessary action against those involved.
