Revealed – The Punishment Inter Milan Captain Risks In Alleged Blasphemy Case | OneFootball

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez could risk a fine but not a suspension for an alleged blasphemous outburst.

This according to Italian outlet La Repubblica, via FCInter1908.

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez has been at the centre of some controversy regarding the end of the Derby d’Italia against Juventus.

That match had ended in a 1-0 loss for Inter. Naturally, the mood was not a positive one considering the Serie A title implications and the rivalry with the Bianconeri.

Moreover, Martinez’s performance had not been a positive one. The Argentine squandered good chances during the match.

Inter captain Martinez vented his anger in the aftermath of that Derbt d’Italia loss.

And there are allegations that the 27-year-old used blasphemous language, a punishable offense in Italian football.

Lautaro Martinez Risks Fine But Not Suspension In Alleged Blasphemy Case

So far, however, there has been no conclusive evidence of Martinez using any blasphemous language.

The Sporting Justice looked into the matter. But they found no audio evidence of the language, and lip reading evidence was inadmissible.

And for his part, Martinez has vehemently denied using any blasphemous language.

That does not mean that the matter is closed, however.

Italian FA Prosecutor Giuesppe Chine is still looking into the matter. He has requested all available footage of the incident from Italian broadcaster DAZN.

The big question would be what the risk is for Martinez in terms of punishment.

And according to La Repubblica, there would be very little chance of Martinez receiving a one-match suspension from Chine.

Rather, there would be the possibility of the Italian FA fining the Inter captain.
