One-Year Prison Sentence and Fine for Racist Remarks Against Footballer Iñaki Williams

A supporter has been penalized for making racist comments towards Athletic Bilbao player Iñaki Williams. The Barcelona court has sentenced the fan to one year in prison and imposed a fine exceeding one lakh rupees. The incident dates back to January 2020, during a match at the RCD Espanyol stadium. The perpetrator directed racial slurs at Williams, who has Ghanaian roots. Despite the sentence, the individual is unlikely to serve time in jail because the sentence is under two years and he has no existing criminal record.
