Pepe complains of racist insult and filed a complaint with the police

Pepe filed a complaint with the Public Security Police (PSP) immediately after FC Porto-Famalicão, following the racist insult he says he was targeted by Santiago Colombatto. According to the central defender of the dragons, the Famalicense midfielder called the Porto captain “mono”.

“The game was also marked by racist insults directed by Colombatto to Pepe. The Argentine from Famalicão called “mono” – that is, “monkey” – the captain of FC Porto and the Portuguese national team, who reacted with elevation: “We have to set an example. When we lose, it’s annoying, but we can’t insult or humiliate our neighbor”. Pepe did not fail to criticize the referee, who watched what happened and did not act: “He had the authority and evidence to change the black history of football and he did not, it is unacceptable”. So that Colombatto’s attitude does not go unpunished, the central defender filed a complaint with the Public Security Police immediately after the game”, reads in the newsletter of the blue and white club, “Dragões Diário”, this Friday.
