Two underage members of Real Sociedad are facing a penalty for hate crimes against Vinicius, as reported by Noticias de Gipuzkoa.

Television cameras captured the two 20-year-old youths. One appears to be making gestures mimicking a monkey and the other is accused of shouting: 'Son of a bitch, fucking monkey', although the accused denies it.
The Penal Code in its article 510 establishes punishments of "a prison sentence of one to four years and a fine of six to twelve months" for this type of behavior if proven in court.
La Liga, Real, and Madrid have presented themselves as private prosecutors and the club from San Sebastian has already opened a case against them.

Real Madrid star drawing summer interest from Espanyol
A departing member of the defensive ranks at Real Madrid is drawing interest by way of La Liga rivals Espanyol ahead of the summer. That's according to Marca, citing Diario Sport, who point towards Lucas Vázquez as the player in question. Advertisement Versatile right-back Vázquez is of course set to bring his career-long stint on the books of Real Madrid to a definitive close over the coming weeks. The 33-year-old will see his terms in Spain's capital come to a close on June 30th, with the Blancos brass having long made the call not to offer Vázquez a renewal. If the latest word stemming from the media early this week is anything to go by, though, then the Spanish international will not have a hard time finding a new club. As per Marca, joining clubs from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and MLS in the Vázquez sweepstakes are La Liga outfit Espanyol. Advertisement The experienced campaigner spent the 2014/15 season on loan at the RCDE Stadium, with the Espanyol brass taking into serious consideration a reunion bid this summer. It now remains to be seen if Vázquez himself is interested in such a move. Conor Laird – GSFN

Man accused of distributing racist and antisemitic flyers in Pittsburgh faces $48,000 in fines
Man accused of distributing racist and antisemitic flyers faces tens of thousands of dollars in fine Man accused of distributing racist and antisemitic flyers faces tens of thousands of dollars in fine Man accused of distributing racist and antisemitic flyers faces tens of thousands of dollars in fine Two weeks after people in Squirrel Hill and other communities came across hateful flyers targeting minority groups outside their homes, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police said a man is now facing more than $48,000 in fines. Living in Squirrel Hill, Rebecca Elhassid is seriously concerned about the hatred that she said has become normalized in today's society towards Jewish people and members of other minority groups. "I didn't think that in my lifetime we were going to see this kind of resurgence of hate," Elhassid said. She said it's now so commonplace that the flyers distributed in her neighborhood last month didn't surprise her. "Naively, I thought that we were past this as an American community, and we're not," Elhassid said. It was May 18 when people found antisemitic flyers, along with those sending racist and anti-immigrant messages, across Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, and in Washington County's Peters Township. Now, Pittsburgh police said 45-year-old Jeremy Brokaw of Zanesville, Ohio was the driver behind the wheel of a tan Dodge Durango. They issued more than 160 traffic citations against him for depositing waste and other material on properties, each carrying a $300 fine. Shawn Brokos is the director of community security at the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh. "They drove a distance. They drove about two hours from Zanesville, Ohio to come do this," Brokos said. "They did it with windows open, you know, broad daylight, yelling antisemitic comments out the window." Brokos said the people responsible are affiliated with a known white supremacy organization that's not known to be violent. They've encountered them other times in the past five years, but never this blatantly. She doesn't know if the incidents here meet the statute for a hate crime federally or ethnic intimidation on the state level. "It's a very high threshold, and it typically has to be a threat of violence, whether that violence was carried out or not," Brokos said. It's unclear if the others in the vehicle with Brokaw will face any consequences. Either way, Brokos hopes these fines are a deterrent. "I hope the citation at least sends a message, that do not come through Squirrel Hill, do not try and intimidate our Jewish community or harass our Jewish community," Brokos said. The case remains under investigation as detectives try to identify the others in the vehicle. If you have any information about them, call Pittsburgh police at 412-422-6520 or 911.

Trent Alexander-Arnold to join Real Madrid early as Liverpool accept £10m deal
Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to complete an early move to Real Madrid after Liverpool accepted a £10million fee for the right-back. Alexander-Arnold was expected to move to the Spanish giants following the expiry of his Reds contract at the end of June, but Madrid have paid an eight-figure fee to expedite the transfer ahead of the Club World Cup. Advertisement Xabi Alonso, Madrid's new head coach, wanted the player in his squad for their first match of the newly expanded tournament against Al Hilal in Miami on June 18. Alexander-Arnold will officially become a Madrid player on the first summer transfer window opens on June 1. Real Madrid have confirmed that Alexander-Arnold has signed a six-year contract with the club, which will begin on June 1, and his debut will come in the Club World Cup. Alexander-Arnold's move brings to an end a 20-year association with Liverpool. The England international confirmed his impending exit earlier in May, issuing a statement which read: 'After 20 years at Liverpool Football Club, now is the time for me to confirm that I will be leaving at the end of the season. Advertisement 'This is easily the hardest decision I've ever made in my life. I know many of you have wondered why or been frustrated that I haven't spoken about this yet, but it was always my intention to keep my full focus on the team's best interests, which was securing No.20.' Alexander-Arnold joined Liverpool's academy at the age of six and has gone on to make more than 350 appearances for the club. He leaves the Reds with a complete set of trophies to his name, having won two Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2019, to go with an FA Cup, a League Cup, the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup.
