“Four Arrested in Spain for Coordinating Online Hate Campaign Against Vinícius Júnior”

Four individuals have been arrested in Spain for allegedly orchestrating an online hate campaign targeting Vinícius Júnior, the Real Madrid forward. The arrests were made following an investigation into social media activity that emerged prior to the Madrid derby between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid. Authorities reported that the suspects, all in their 20s, were detained after police examined posts that had garnered over 1.5 billion views. These posts encouraged Atlético fans to wear masks during the match, allowing them to insult Vinícius without revealing their identities. La Liga has expressed its support for the arrests, emphasizing the ongoing fight against hate in football.
