The Italian soccer federation (Figc) Investigate a Lautaro Martínez for alleged blasphemous expressions during the defeat of the Inter in view of Juventus last February 16. If confirmed, the Argentine striker could receive a suspension in the Italy League and an economic fine.
The incident would have been registered in images and audios analyzed by the Disciplinary Court of Figc. According to Italian media, the Sports Prosecutor’s Office already has sufficient evidence to sanction the scorer, although he still has the possibility of appealing or reaching an agreement to reduce his punishment.
In the midst of the controversy, the former Racing denied the accusations and was upset by the situation: “What happened has affected me deeply. I was annoying, but I didn’t blaspheme. I try to instill in respect to my children. I do not accept such things and I will continue on my way”he said in statements to the press.
The possible sanction comes at a crucial moment of series A. It is that Inter studies the procedure against its captain since the “Neroazzurro” leads with 56 units, with only a point of advantage over the Napoli, whom he will face this Saturday at 14 from Argentina.
Although the season did not start well for the bahiense, at the beginning of the 27th date of the local contest, it has 16 goals and six assists in 35 games, including the Champions League and the Coppa Italia.
Lautaro’s case is not the first of this type in the Mediterranean country. In recent years, other players like Gianluigi Buffon and Manuel Lazzari were sanctioned by similar expressions. Series A has strict regulations on blasphemy on the playing field, which makes these types of situations continue with magnifying glass.
