The suspended prison sentence is contingent upon the defendant participating in a program for equal treatment and the combating of discrimination. "Marca" published an apology letter from the convicted person, who assured that they "regret" their actions and are "ashamed" of them.

"Real Madrid," who, along with Vinícius Junior, acted as a private plaintiff in the proceedings, will continue to advocate for the protection of our club's values and the combat of any racist behavior in the world of football and sports", the Champions League winner announced.

The individual who was convicted for racially insulting Real Madrid footballer Antonio Rüdiger and Vinícius Junior will need to complete a program for equal treatment and combating discrimination as part of their probation.
