Real Madrid player Vincius Junior referred to La Liga and Spain as racist after hearing racial slurs from the fans during Real Madrid’s defeat to Valencia on Sunday at the Mestalla stadium.

The task of describing the Brazilian principle of extraterritoriality on his Twitter account fell to the Justice Minister himself.
“The principle of extraterritoriality is in the Penal Code, derived from the request of the Minister of Justice. Extreme remedy in case of crime against Brazilians, which can be useful in case of inaction of the initially competent authorities. It can work as a response to an aggression unfair against a compatriot. ” he wrote on twitter.
“The issue of extraterritoriality is still under analysis and depends on a series of factors. I only remind you that it is in the Penal Code, since some are questioning the mention that I made of it as an extreme remedy. I think it is useful for everyone to know about the existence of this protection for the rights of Brazilians. By the way, the principle also exists in Spain and other countries.” he added.
