Serbian club Red Star Belgrade fined by UEFA for fan chants in honor of war criminal Ratko Mladic
UEFA also deferred an away-tickets ban for two years after judges ruled the chants and banner were racist and discriminatory behavior.
- On Friday, UEFA fined Red Star Belgrade 90,000 euros for fan chants and banners praising convicted war criminal Ratko Mladic during a Europa League match.
- During the August 27 match at Czech club Viktoria PlzeH, fans saluted Mladic and displayed banners thanking him during a 5-1 loss. Mladic was the Bosnian Serb commander who oversaw the Srebrenica massacre of more than 8,000 Muslims in 1995.
- Mladic died at 84 in The Hague last week while serving a life sentence for genocide, with his death coinciding with a Europa League match day involving Red Star.
- UEFA also banned Red Star from selling away tickets for its upcoming Conference League match against Swiss club Lugano, while deferring another potential ban for a two-year probationary period.
- Red Star, the 1991 European champion, has a long track record of UEFA disciplinary sanctions for fan misconduct, including previous racist slurs against Roma people.
