MADRID, Jan. 26 (SportsFinding) –

LaLiga expressed on Sunday “his rejection and deepest concern” about what happened with Athletic Club striker Iñaki Williams at RCDE Stadium and confirmed that he will denounce these racist chants before the Competition Committee and ask for “the partial closure of the affected harrow” of the 'parakeet' stadium.

“LaLiga wishes to express its rejection and deepest concern regarding the events that took place on Saturday, being aware that the measures taken for some years must be improved, since, although they have led to an obvious decrease in violent insults, facts and attitudes both inside and outside the football stadiums, today they are insufficient, according to the events experienced yesterday, “LaLiga said in a statement.

In addition, he confirmed that “he will denounce the facts before the Competition Committee of the RFEF, awaiting a penalty of partial closure of the affected harrow” and that he will meet with AFE and RFEF so that “it is established on a regular basis that any player who listens to songs , in a choral or individual way, and that it considers that they affect their dignity or are discriminatory, let the arbitrator know immediately so that he / she takes the pertinent measures, arriving if it is the case, to modify the typified in the RFEF Regulation so this is effective. “

“Likewise, LaLiga has already initiated a procedure to identify the fans who uttered insults against Iñaki Williams, in order to initiate criminal proceedings for a hate crime and denounce the facts before the State Commission against violence, racism and
xenophobia in sports, “he added.

On the other hand, he also referred to the “violent events” that occurred in Valencia and in Barcelona among various radical groups, ensuring that “the modification of the Ticket Sales Regulation will be studied immediately, especially reviewing online sales” .

“LaLiga will review the regulation of ticket sales, in relation to the tickets that are made available to the visiting club, especially in the case of parties declared high risk and will improve the regulations regarding the communication of the transfer and travel of visiting fans, “he added.

In the same way, “as usual during the past seasons, LaLiga will denounce any type of violent, racist and / or xenophobic behavior before the Anti-Violence Commission in order to
that the fans involved in any violent altercation be sanctioned with the prohibition of access to football stadiums. “

“LaLiga will appear as a private prosecution in the criminal proceedings that will be opened for these events, in order to ensure that those involved have the maximum possible penalties,” said the body chaired by Javier Tebas.
