Risk for Volos to lose the match with Kifissia in the courts after Beu’s “monkey”

The danger for him is visible Bullet to lose the Sunday match with Kifissia, in Kaisariani, to the courts, after the video, brought to light by the Northern Suburbs team, which shows the Achillea Beo to shout the word “monkey» in phase with Tetei. Specifically, the strong man of the Thessalian group and mayor of Volos is captured saying “fell by himself! The monkey».

We remind you, after the end of the match without a score in “C. Kritikopoulos”the home striker, Andreas Tetei, he complained that from the bench of Volos someone called him “monkey“, on the occasion of a branding. He commented that he has heard something like this for a long time, stressing that it annoyed him. “I would like to say first that someone from the bench of the opposing team called me a “monkey”, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard something like that and it really bothered me so I went straight to the referee“, he said.

After the complaint, moreover, that he made about a racist attack against him by a man on the bench of Volos, the forward of Kifissia proceeded to post on Instagram as well, calling for an end to racism. “Let there be an end to the phenomena of racism in sports and our society! It doesn’t go any further! Sport should be a field of noble competition and not the unleashing of racist comments and tactics“, he characteristically commented. A little later came the reaction from Volos, which responded to the complaint of the racist attack. In a statement, the team from Magnesia categorically denied the accusations and emphasized that the word “monkey” was used by a member of the team for a decision of the referee and not for the Kifissia footballer.

So yesterday, 24 hours after the game and what happened, Kifisia released a videoin which the powerful man of PAE Volos is depicted shouting the word “monkey». Kifisia states in detail in his post: “Following the complaint made by Andreas Tetei, after the conclusion of the match with PAE Volos NPS, on Sunday 11 February 2024, we present as PAE Kifisia the snapshot, in which the official of PAE Volos NPS, who made the racist attack on the football player of our team. RACISM HAS NO PLACE IN OUR SOCIETY»!

The data is now as follows: In accordance with article 18 of the EPO Disciplinary Code on racism“anyone who within this Code demeans, discriminates against or tarnishes anyone, in a defamatory manner, because of their race, colour, language, religion or ethnic origin, or commits any other racist or contemptuous act, shall be punished if he is a team official banned from entering the stadiums from three (3) months to one (1) year and a fine of at least fifty thousand (50,000) euros if he is an official of a union and two thousand (2,000) euros if he is an official of a union».

However, it states in addition to One more thing. That “if officials or even football players of a team commit a racist or contemptuous act, as described in paragraph 1 hereof, the match is awarded in favor of the opposing team and the guilty group is punished, in addition to the penalties of paragraph 1, with a monetary penalty, which for the PAE amounts to twenty thousand (20,000) euros to eighty thousand (80,000) euros, and for the unions two thousand (2,000) euros. In case of a second violation, apart from the loss of the match mentioned above, the above monetary penalty will be doubled and in case of a new (third) violation, the team will be relegated to the immediately lower division at the end of the relevant championship».

It should be noted that on the match sheet, Referee Pulikidis has not written anything about the incident. However, with the video released by Kifisia, the football prosecutor can prosecute. Referee calls based on match sheet and observer report. But if even such a video comes to the attention of the football prosecutor, he can prosecute himself and thus the judge will take it into account. If this happens, therefore, the danger for Volos to lose the game is visible.
