Research into racism around Vincent Kompany remains without consequence

“It is impossible to find out who made which statements,” it sounds. During the match, Anderlecht’s players and staff received all kinds of racist remarks. Trainer Vincent Kompany indicated afterwards that he was disgusted by the many racist accusations, such as “brown monkeys”. He missed the press conference.

“Impossible to find out who made statements”

The prosecutor’s office launched a criminal investigation into the verdicts. The investigation was completed four months later.

“On the basis of camera images, a number of suspects could be identified, but based on that data it is impossible to find out who made which statements,” the prosecutor said.

“It is insufficiently proven that all constitutive elements are fulfilled. Therefore, the file will be classified in criminal law without consequences.”

At the end of February, King Filip received Kompany for an audience in the royal palace. They talked about racism and discrimination in football.
