Four people handed suspended jail sentences over Vinicius Jr effigy
June 16 (Reuters) - Four people have been handed suspended jail sentences by a Madrid Court after being found guilty of a hate crime related to an effigy of Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr, Spain's LaLiga said in a statement on Monday. They were all involved in hanging a banner reading "Madrid hates Real" and an inflatable black effigy in a replica of the Brazilian's No. 20 shirt on a bridge before a Copa del Rey match against Atletico Madrid in January 2023. According to the ruling, one defendant was sentenced to 15 months in prison for a hate crime and an additional seven months for making threats, having distributed images of the act online. The other three were sentenced to seven months in prison for hate crimes and seven months for threats. They will not serve prison time, however, after all four signed a letter of apology to Vinicius, Real Madrid, LaLiga and the Spanish soccer federation (RFEF). "The defendant who posted the video online received a special disqualification from working in education, sports, or recreational youth settings for four years and three months, while the others received three years and seven months," the LaLiga statement said. The first defendant was fined 1,084 euros ($1,250) and the other three 720 euros, with additional punishments including a 1,000-meter restraining order from Vinicius, his home and workplace, and a ban on approaching soccer stadiums during LaLiga or RFEF matches. They will all be required to participate in an educational programme on equal treatment and non-discrimination in order for the prison sentences imposed to be suspended. There was no immediate confirmation from the court and no immediate reaction from Vinicius. ($1 = 0.8638 euros)

Sam Thompson, 32, leaves Soccer Aid afterparty with sports presenter, 23, after surprise appearance as a sub
SAM Thompson made a surprise appearance as a substitute during this year's Soccer Aid - but it was his post-match antics that really got fans talking. The reality TV star, 32, was later spotted leaving the glitzy afterparty hand-in-hand with a glamorous 23-year-old sports presenter. 5 Sam was spotted leaving the swanky Soccer Aid afterparty at Manchester's Hilton Deansgate with stunning sports presenter Jolie Sharpe on his arm - just hours after England's narrow defeat. The Made in Chelsea star looked in high spirits as he slipped away with Jolie Sharpe following the charity clash at Old Trafford, where rapper Big Zuu sealed a dramatic 5-4 win for the World XI. Despite coming face-to-face with ex Zara McDermott's new flame Louis Tomlinson on the pitch, Sam brushed off the awkward moment and partied into the night - as Soccer Aid raised a whopping £15million for Unicef. Jolie turned heads in a white ruffled mini skirt and denim jacket and was snapped leaving the hotel with Sam, with insiders claiming the pair have been 'good mates for a while.' The I'm A Celeb champ kept it cool in a dark grey co-ord and crisp white tee, finishing the laid-back look with a pair of stylish trainers. Jolie, who runs her own successful marketing firm JGS Live, boasts a seriously impressive CV - her agency is an official TikTok live selling partner and has worked with heavyweights like British Airways, Chelsea FC and The Economist. Meanwhile, Sam, 32, and Louis, 33, reportedly thrashed out a "peace dinner" at Champneys in Tring alongside teammates, to avoid any bust-ups ahead of kick-off - after Louis struck up a romance with Sam's ex, Zara McDermott, 28. Despite the heartbreak on the pitch, both lads seemed in good spirits as they arrived back at the Hilton to cheers from fans. Sam, who had previously pulled out of playing due to injury following his gruelling 260-mile challenge, made a surprise cameo in the closing moments - just after Louis had left the field, dodging a potentially awkward showdown in front of the packed stadium. A source told The Sun: "There is no beef between the pair and they're both going to ensure their love lives don't distract from such a big charity spectacle. Sam Thompson makes surprise Soccer Aid appearance as he comes on as a sub just days after pulling out with injury "They are fully aware that their every move is being scrutinised and they've broken bread with their teammates, so it'll be smooth sailing on the day." Instead of lacing up his boots, Sam stepped into a new role on the sidelines - joining England's management team after being ruled out with a torn calf. Speaking to This Morning's Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary live from Soccer Aid HQ, he said: 'I'm still very sore, still got the torn calf, however I am here at Soccer Aid HQ and it does not get better than this. 'We've still got the management team of England, we've got Vicky McClure, Tyson Fury who's stepping into some new shoes, and Harry Redknapp.' 'But also, because I'm not going to be able to run around, you've got me - part of the management team. Come on baby!' Sam's appearance comes months after his split from former Love Island star Zara after five years together - with it later revealed in March that she'd moved on with pop star Louis. 5 5 5
