STJD to judge Vitor Roque over homophobic post, see the date | OneFootball

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) has set the date for the trial of Vitor Roque, forward for Palmeiras, due to a homophobic post made on his Instagram profile after the 3-2 victory in the classic against São Paulo on October 5th, during the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The trial session is scheduled to take place next Monday, November 17th, at 10 AM (Brasília time), in Rio de Janeiro.

The information was initially published by the website Lei em Campo and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

The Vitor Roque Controversy

Vitor Roque posted an image on his Instagram profile of a tiger biting the neck of a deer. However, he deleted the post shortly after due to the negative backlash. The “Little Tiger,” as he is called by the fans, was charged under article 243-G. The complaint was made a few days after the classic, but a trial date had not yet been set.

What does article 243-G say?

“Engaging in discriminatory, disdainful, or outrageous acts related to prejudice based on ethnic origin, race, sex, color, age, condition of being elderly or disabled.”

The penalty provided is a suspension of five to ten matches, in addition to a fine ranging from R$ 100.00 (one hundred reais) to R$ 100,000.00 (one hundred thousand reais).

Thus, the player might be absent from Palmeiras in an important sequence. Called up by the Brazilian National Team, Vitor Roque is unavailable for Abel Ferreira to face Santos, which takes place this Saturday, in a rescheduled match of the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship.
