Italian punished
Ex-Salzburger called “Jackie Chan”: Mega-ban!
Italian footballer Marco Curto has received a lengthy ban for racist insults!
Curto allegedly insulted the South Korean Hwang Hee-chan from the English Premier League team Wolverhampton Wanderers in a pre-season friendly match of the Italian first division team Como 1907. The 25-year-old defender received a ten-match ban from FIFA, half of which is suspended for two years.
"Sentenced for discriminatory behavior!"
"The player Marco Curto was convicted of discriminatory behavior," said a FIFA spokesperson. He is also required to carry out community service and undergo training and education at a FIFA-recognized organization. Curto is now on loan to Italian second division club Cesena.
Como declared in the summer that the incident had been "blown out of proportion", as the British news agency PA reported. Curto is said to have compared Hwang to the film star Jackie Chan. The defender had not said anything derogatory. Wolverhampton, on the other hand, welcomed the suspension.
