Francesco Acerbi Not Penalized for Alleged Racial Abuse Due to Insufficient Evidence

Inter Milan's Acerbi was cleared of racially abusing Napoli's Juan Jesus in a Serie A match, with officials citing a lack of conclusive proof.

Inter Milan defender Francesco Acerbi will not face sanctions for allegedly racially abusing Napoli’s Juan Jesus due to insufficient evidence.
The incident occurred during a Serie A match on March 17, but the Italian soccer federation prosecutor found the proof lacking.
Napoli expressed astonishment at the decision and pledged to continue their own anti-racism initiatives.
Acerbi, who denied the allegations, could have faced a minimum 10-match ban if found guilty.
Juan Jesus, visibly upset during the match, later stated that Acerbi apologized and wished to move on.
