Münster (dpa) - After the racism incident at the third division soccer game in Münster, a nationwide ban on the stadium was pronounced against the suspect for three years. This was announced by the Club Preußen Münster.
"The least we can do is that this person no longer comes to our stadium," said club president Christoph Strasser. The control committee of the German Football Association (DFB) also initiated investigations.
The police had previously confirmed the man's identity and initiated further investigations. The suspect, who insulted guest player Leroy Kwadwo in the third division game of Preußen Münster against the Würzburg Kickers with monkey noises, is a 29-year-old from the district of Steinfurt. As a police spokeswoman confirmed on Monday, the man was charged with sedition.
"Other witnesses are heard and the accused is asked about the matter," said the spokeswoman. Afterwards, the public prosecutor will deal with the case. A sentence of three months to five years is possible for the basic offense of sedition. The incident will also have financial consequences for the viewer. In addition to a fine from the criminal proceedings, Prussia Münster will also apply the penalty expected from the DFB to the perpetrator. The club announced.
The audience had responded to the man's insults by shouting "Nazis out" and had located and identified the suspect who had left his place.
