Overview
- Colombia exited the World Cup after a scoreless draw with Switzerland that went to penalties, and Campaz missed a clear chance in the 115th minute before converting his spot kick in the shootout.
- After the match he received intense online abuse and explicit death threats that targeted him and his family, prompting him to restrict comments on his Instagram and delay returning home with the squad.
- The Colombian Football Federation publicly condemned the threats and formally requested that the Attorney General’s Office urgently investigate and prosecute those responsible.
- As of the latest reports there have been no publicly announced arrests or identified suspects and authorities have not released further updates on the probe.
- The incident has revived painful memories of Andrés Escobar’s 1994 murder and raises immediate questions about player safety, social media harassment, and whether legal or protective measures for athletes will change.
