The supporter of the French team, who had tweeted racist remarks against Kylian Mbappé after his missed shot on goal against Switzerland during the French elimination at the last Euro, will be tried this Wednesday at the 17th chamber of the Paris Criminal Court.

The individual had then published a message of a racist nature on the social network Twitter on:

"Kylian Mbappé this dirty nigger deserves to take a hundred lashes and to be sold in Libya this nigger does not deserve the French Republic direction Cameroon or the cotton fields…”

he then reacted following the elimination of France in the round of 16 of the Euro.

The associations had reacted

Several anti-racism organizations and associations such as

SOS Racisme

and

Sportitude France

then alerted the evening of the match to the many offensive, racist and hateful messages that swarmed on the social network against certain Blues players.

These two associations filed civil suits during this hearing: “

Faced with the feeling of impunity that affects a large number of users on Twitter, we expect an exemplary sanction,

said the association SOS Racisme in a press release.

Racist hatred, on social networks as elsewhere, must not go unpunished.

We hope this trial will pave the way for justice to continue to identify those who believe that anonymity on Twitter protects them from any criminal sanctions.

Currently at Clairefontaine with the Blues, the PSG player is preparing to play the first four games of the new edition of the League of Nations, the opening match of which will take place on Friday against Denmark, at the Stade de France.
