Overview
- The civil complaint was filed in Valencia’s Court of Instruction No. 1 against Netflix and Brazilian producer Conspiração Filmes.
- Valencia seeks corrected subtitles, inclusion within the film of the eventual court ruling, and financial compensation for reputational damage.
- The dispute centers on a match clip subtitled as “mono” (“monkey”) rather than “tonto, tonto,” which the club describes as a manipulation.
- The club says it demanded a rectification after the documentary’s release, but Netflix declined to edit the material, reportedly saying “everything is fine.”
- The lawsuit follows convictions of three fans for racially aggravated conduct related to the 2023 Mestalla incident, and police union JUPOL has also urged a correction.
