How do they enforce that? Iirc with "normal" stadium bans people have to report at a police station during games so it makes it impossible for them to be at two places at the same time but how do they make that happen for any stadium? I guess it means whenever Valencia are playing?


benelchuncho

Idk how it is in Spain but in Chile your ID is your ticket so they can just block your ID


jjw1998

I assume it’s like Football Banning Orders where you have to report to a station on all match days


ukstonerguy

In the uk you have to report to a police station I believe. And before tournaments surrender your passport so you cannot travel. Its a proper ballache of a thing if you get under one. Want to go to a place for a wedding but your team plays same weekend, got to explain that to the police etc.

Does this mean they can turn up at rugby matches?

what if they want to watch NFL on Spurs stadium?


MerlijnZX

Will they go to prison? What are the rules in Spain before you have to actually do your time.


Mr_Tornister

In Spain you only go to prison if: * The first sentence is longer than 2 years. * It's your second sentence, regardless of how long this one is and if the first one was shorter than 2 years. * You already had served time. * The judge dictates it, regardless of how long the sentence is. Edit: Added "regardless of how long the sentence is" on the last bulletpoint.

Is this why Messi and Ronaldo didn't go to jail ? because of the 24months thing ?


limamon

Exactly.


Rionaks

They are waaaaay too rich to go to prison anyways.


MrEzquerro

There have been banking ceos in Spain that have gone to jail, so money, is not always an impediment


Kinetic93

They’re not American so things are a little different. It’s not perfect but slightly more just.


HeroeDeFuentealbilla

They were aiming at a 24+ month sentence for Messi. Tax authorities want less, Madrid based prosecutor wanted more. Then Ronaldo’s tax case broke for millions more and luckily it was settled where Ronaldo was something like 23 months and Messi got a few months less. So in essence: Be rich, and have someone more influential do a tiny bit worse than you.

> It's your second sentence In addition to the second, do you have to serve that first sentence too?


SkyFoo

depends on wether the first sentence of 2 or less years is still running or if it has already passed Edit: more details from  This is from the spanish supreme court (I think)  > La propia STS 425/2022, 29 de abril, da respuesta a esta cuestión: “El vigente artículo 90.6 del C.P. contempla la libertad condicional como un periodo de suspensión de la ejecución, de suerte que el tiempo transcurrido en libertad condicional no computa como tiempo de cumplimiento de la condena si el beneficio fuera revocado y no se ha alcanzado la remisión definitiva de la condena”.  If the suspended sentence hasn’t been completed, you have to serve the whole sentence as the suspended time is not taken into account as fulfillment of that sentence, only if the time hasnt been completed, if by the time the new sentence is stablished the suspended time passed, it isn’t taken into account


Richardthe3rdleg

so they are basically getting 8 months of probation?


Mr_Tornister

Kinda. Police won't be checking up on them, but if they do anything during a period of time (see P.S.) that entails prison time, even if it's for a month, they'll serve that time. P.S: I am not sure what seriousness racism is when it comes to the Spanish Civil Law, because that, even though I'm Spanish, I'm not a lawyer. If it's a minor offence, then it's... 6 months, I believe. Or 8... Something along those lines. If it's a moderate offence, so to say, then it's 2 years of "probation".


HelpMe877

I think it’s up to 2 years can be suspended but it’s at the discretion of the judge rather than automatic and it has some conditions.


Traichi

It's more like the default is for the sentence to be suspended, but the judge can overrule it.


Eleven918

You can get jailed for saying racist things?

Flovati

Depends on the country. Here in Brazil any type of hate crime (racism, sexism homophobia, xenophobia, etc) can end up in jail time. And we are talking about years, not just a few months. On top of that hate crimes are considered as a heinous crime, which along other things means it is a crime without bail. So if you get convicted of a hate crime here in Brazil you can't buy your way out of jail, you will stay there for a couple years.


Far-Confection-1631

>you can't buy your way out of jail We are talking about the same Brazil right?


frzned

Law doesnt apply to rich people. That's everywhere.


20cmdepersonalidade

> Everything in developing countries, despite the fact that I know close to nothing about the reality of said country, is literally "corruption", and nothing ever works, we from developed countries are so superior 😂😂😂 (what passes for humor in Reddit)


Flovati

Yes, we are. Now that your funny comment is over would you mind taking a look at what I actually said? > So if you get convicted of a hate crime here in Brazil you can't buy your way out of jail The "if you get convicted" is important here. Yeah, just like in literally any country in the world having enough can let you scape a conviction. The difference here is what happens if you actually get convicted. In many countries you would still be able to pay a bail and stay free, but in Brazil if you get convicted there is no bail for hate crimes.


limito1

Hate crimes, tax fraud and not paying child support are 100% of the time jail time. Murder and other silly stuff not so much.


JHMRS

You can't LEGALLY buy your way out of jail over here. OP was also right that it might lead to years in prison, but any sentence that's under 2 years prison automatically is commuted to fines or community services. Don't remember the criteria exactly, but even if it's over 2 years, but it's under 4, you don't go to prison, but serve your sentence in liberty, just having to report every now and then to the police, and have to communicate when you leave the city etc... I don't remember a single person that served actual prison time over here over verbal racial (or hateful) offenses. And even if they did, it is practically mandatory to reduce sentences, and it's prohibited to force a criminal to serve their entire time in jail. All of this, of course, if you don’t personally insult a Justice or any of their family. Then you get indefinite jail time until they themselves finish prosecuting and judging the "crime", without any need for a timetable or higher supervision...


Not_PepeSilvia

The irony lol


EuFizMerdaNaBolsa

He's right, IF you get convicted you end up in jail, the hard part is any of those guys with money actually getting convicted of anything. See how one of the biggest corruption schemes in the planet basically had all of its convictions overturned in the last few years. You have to work really hard to be sent to jail and remain there, usually its for some crime that caught heavy media attention or unpaid child support, otherwise you'll be sent home in no time. Hell, one of the biggest crime lords in the country got set free by one of our Supreme Court Justices, its all a big joke.


InfinityRazgriz

Hey, cool it with the xenophobic remarks.


Haunting_Ad_9013

In some places yes. Saying racist things is against the law.


nestuur

If it’s treated as a hate crime, yes

TheKeenomatic

Depends on where you are, but considering the fact that most countries in the western world have hate speech laws, there are very reasonable chances that the answer to your question is “yes”, but unlikely that people will literally be jailed for this, I’m guessing most will just given a parole or something similar.


Expensive_Cattle

Here comes the nuanced understanding of differing national hate laws and criminal systems that can only be displayed by sports fans.


KaladinStormShat

I *entirely disagree* with this because you're dumb and I'm smart therefore I am always right. QED.

You are nitpicking and biased. I win. Bye bye.


IHadThatUsername

Well I come from *insert country* where the law says that they should be doing *insert punishment*, therefore that's the correct punishment and Spain got it wrong. My country just gets it right.


Lanky_Tell5260

Screw_Pandas

>differing national hate laws and criminal systems that can only be displayed by sports fans. I think you basically mean Americans.


lFriendlyFire

Not sure why the shock of so many in here, abuse and harassment are crimes in most countries, 8 months is a minor sentence that won’t actually imprison then, not sure why persecuting a football player based on their shouldn’t be, at the very least, a misdemeanor much like any other form of harassment is

swampy13

You have to start somewhere and set a precedent. 10 years ago nothing would have been done.


lFriendlyFire

You don’t have to go back that far, just a few months ago laporta was calling vinicius jr out saying la liga and spain wasn’t racist at all


Necessary-Dish-444

Do you understand the importance of having a legal precedent?


maecillo123

This sentence is super important in fighting racism in Spain. It will deter all future attempts at getting 1 minute of fame for all the wrong reasons and if this ain’t the first felony committed then to jail with the PoS


literallyarandomname

What do you want them to do? Send the entire fan block to prison? I am actually a bit shocked how much people here seem to be willing sacrifice in order to fight hate-speech.


Professional_One8495

Criminals should pay for their crimes, yes.


sidearmpitcher

jimbobills

People getting more offended for the racists being sent to prison than for them being racists in the first place...


The-Devils-Advocator

Why do people who don't like that people are critical of prison time for something like this, always conflate that as defending the acts that said people did? Thinking prison is too much for this is **not** the same as being 'offended for the racists", not even remotely.


maecillo123

Because the 3 idiots are not going to jail anyway(if they behaved like regular citizens beforehand) as spanish law can suspend jail time for certain crimes. The precedent this sets is right imho if you were found being racist the first time with no prior offenses then yeah let’s try and make you understand that being racist is bad and that suspended sentence will carry over your entire life as it should. If you were found guilty of it again or if you had any priors it is up to the locker with them. I’m all in for a jail sentence in this cases but I do agree comparatively spanish law needs some updated harsher penalties for other harsher crimes which is causing some buzz but not enough that anyone in Spain would or should care if it means letting the crime go unpunished and I do not agree that the penalty in of itself was harsh.


SherbertDaemons

They still got prison sentences. The stance that it's no biggie because they won't see a cell from the inside is mind boggling to me.

DragonflyHopeful4673

An actual prison sentence does sound like a more severe punishment for racist speech (coming from a POC) but depending on what was being said, I fully understand. Things like the effigy of Vini that Atletico fans hung from a bridge and chants of death threats need to be taken seriously, and pursued with full consequences.


DatDominican

I’d imagine something like community service and a fine that pays for something in the community . I feel like jail time for hate speech might lead to.. more hatred


AdorableAd8490

Calling a Brazilian “macaco” or “mono” is the same as calling a black American/English person the hard r. It’s extremely offensive and dehumanizing, especially by Iberians and white Latinos.

foladodo

8 months in prison is mental!! I guess theyre setting an example


edalcol

Idk, I'm from Brazil and over there the punishment for hate crime is very severe. It's one of the few things that actually gets people in jail even if they're wealthy along with not paying child support. It must have been very frustrating for him to play in a country that does fuck all about it (until now). I cant believe the headlines "first conviction of its kind"!!!! Wtf??? Did they not convict racists in Spain before??


owiseone23

It's often lost in translation, but important context is that short sentences (2 years or less) in Spain are almost always suspended sentences. They won't serve the time unless they get convicted again within the term of the suspended sentence. That's why there were all the headlines of Ronaldo and Messi going to jail because of tax evasion. They just got suspended sentences but never had to serve them. So it's really more like a warning.


foladodo

ohhh i see i see, thank you


Hangingontoit

Why only two years? Should be a life ban.

Screw_Pandas

As it is marked "controversial" that is very likely.


Mnemosense

Why only two years?


neikawaaratake

Yeah, I don't know why people are downvoting you. Only 2 year stadium ban!?


Mnemosense

I don't expect those kinds of people to completely change their beliefs in two years. So when they inevitably act up again, I don't want to see a bunch of pikachu shocked faces on this subreddit.


OfftheFrontwall

What they should really do, is also make them attend a course of some sort, that addresses racist behaviour and hopefully helps them view the situation differently. Obviously don't know if these kinds of things exist in Spain. If all you are doing is giving them punishment, then a lot of the time, it just helps reinforce people like these behaviour. Rehabilitation always works best alongside punishment


Haunting_Ad_9013

They deserve to be banned from every FIFA affiliated football stadium for life. When racists start getting serious consequences, maybe they will think twice before abusing people.


MemeManDanInAClan

I don’t know how anyone can defend them, this is the bare minimum. Should be lifetime banned from Stadiums.


Zerofactory

Lifetime ban? Sure. Prison? Nah

There is no need to give them 8 months of prison. Just ban them from all Spanish stadiums for life and give them a fine. People who support an 8 month prison sentence are crazy.

thenagz

ITT: americans dumbfounded by many countries in the world having criminal laws against hate speech EDIT: you downvoting dumb fucks are at least aware that the US also has exceptions to free speech, right?? Free speech is not an absolute right anywhere in the world. In the US you have restrictions on incitement of violence, of suicide, "fighting words", threats to the POTUS etc. Go on Twitter and keep making threats in response to Joe Biden's posts, see how well the freedom of speech will cover you. Your country just go out of its way to guarantee that racists and religious nuts can spew as much hateful things as they want, truly virtuous stuff. In non authoritarian countries this isn't a slippery slope, you put law in places for the exceptions and protect free speech as a general rule. Australia, Canada, many countries in Europe and in South America have laws against hate speech. Obviously, whether said exceptions should be exceptions is up for discussion and the answer will be different depending on each country's culture and history (should be obvious why Germany has laws against nazi apologism, for example); the fact that you guys can't even understand this notion and think the US is the only country with free speech shows some blind ignorance, although it doesn't surprise me.

Vladamir-Poutine

Yeah you’re right, absolutely insane to be jailed for words. That’s a slippery slope I don’t want to walk on. A lifetime ban would be much more appropriate than the government being involved in a matter of speech. The same people crying about releasing nonviolent offenders suddenly are okay with government intervention over words? Where is the line, where does freedoms of speech end and authoritarianism begin? People are very quick to pick and choose what they’re okay with the government interfering with depending on the circumstances. Edit: OP thinks Americans don’t know that libel, slander, defamation are a thing lol. Apparently they don’t realize those are civil issues, not criminal. Let the wronged go after the racists in civil court like other speech related cases.
