UEFA will use all evidence to prosecute Bulgarian fans
Many feared that the game in Sofia between Bulgaria and England could take a turn for the worst. And it actually did, as the Bulgaria fans taunted the English players with racist chants, nazi gestures and other obnoxious chants, which saw the referee stop the game twice before the fans were ejected.
UEFA has officially opened an investigation about what happened during the Bulgaria-England match, in regards the racial abuse the players suffered by the home fans. FARE (Football Against Racism in Europe) will help UEFA build the case to prosecute everyone involved in this act of terrorism. This organization had observers inside the stadium who could feed the high authorities about what happened during the game.
Along with this information, TV footage should be enough for UEFA to have a strong case against the abusers. Many people, mainly from England, have already spoken about the events occurred yesterday, urging the people in charge to act as quickly as they can.
"We had observers at the match and they have an official role in the sense that they will have flagged up issues with the delegates and they will also have collected evidence of what we all saw through our TV screens. The fact that it was widespread racism cannot be in doubt and the issue now will be the evidence that UEFA needs to have a legally safe prosecution of the Bulgarians," FARE's network executive director said after the game.
These events are becoming more and more common nowadays and it's time for UEFA to have a clear stance on this subject matter, eradicating everyone who practices these acts of terror.
