O Federal Prosecutor’s Office He began a civil inquiry to investigate the acting of the case of racism that involved player Luighi, from the Libertadores U20. The request for the opening of the inquiry came from the organization Jus Racial, which pointed out a possible omission of the CBF in the event. During a match against Cerro Porteño, Luighi was the target of racist offenses, with fans imitating monkey gestures. In response, the CBF issued a repudiation note and promised that it would take punitive measures. In turn, Conmebol has decided that Cerro Porteño will play with the gates closed in the next matches of the competition.
The player Luighi shared his indignation on social networks, making an analogy between his experience and the historical suffering faced by the black population. Jus Brasil criticized the CBF for not contesting the lack of punishment to the referee and for not questioning the amount of the fine imposed on the Paraguayan club. In addition, Conmebol President Alejandro Domingues made a statement that was considered racist in claiming that Libertadores without Brazilian clubs would be like “Tarzan without cheetah”. After the negative repercussion, he apologized, claiming that he had no intention of offending and always defended values of respect and inclusion.
