Oc this isn’t a court case, he hasn’t been indicted for anything, this is purely a disciplinary dispute between the main organisation FIGC and Acerbi.
They can fire you, hold back the wage and ban you on no concrete evidence. They don’t need the sort of proof that is necessary in court cases.
What the fuck are you on about? Firstly, the case is now at federal prosecutor level.
Secondly, if Inter chooses to fire Acerbi today without anything being proven, that would straight up be a wrongful termination, and Acerbi would be liable and right to sue. I am 100 certain Inter have an addendum in their contracts that means they can terminate people in case of wrongful doing (image loss, et cetera), but we aren't at a place where that's applicable.
To avoid such a situation, FIGC are talking with the involved parties, including Inter, Napoli, JJ and Acerbi, and are trying to gather a understanding of what happened. That's what an investigation is, and it doesn't matter if it's a criminal case or not. You gather evidence to find out if someone was/is in the wrong before you hand out a punishment. If you don't, what you get isn't justice.
What you (and CC), however, are seemingly clamoring for is immediate punishment without proof - and if you think that's just and fair, just because we aren't talking about a criminal charge with possible repercussions of imprisonment toward Acerbi (who would in any case, in that situation, lose his career and with that income and reputation if found to having said something racist) you are a vile person, and I wish the very worst for you.
The so called innocent until proven guilty doesn’t really apply there to same degree as it usually dos in court.
In this case victims word generally are weighted higher than that of the offender.
Even if that is correct, that doesn't mean it's right.
