His behavior had been inexcusable. Already known for his excesses at the edge of the football fields, a fifty-year-old man had actually hit a 16-year-old referee last March during a junior D meeting (kids aged 11 to 13). In response, the Vaud football association canceled all matches in the category the following weekend and filed a complaint against the hitter dad.
In a recent decision, the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Northern Vaud sentenced him to a firm financial penalty, explains “24 Heures”. The criminal order reveals in particular that the man entered the lawn without right to contest a decision, before throwing a hail of blows in the direction of the face of the teenager who, fortunately, managed to counter the attacks and n He had only been hit in one arm. The adult had also insulted his victim and it took the intervention of numerous third parties to put an end to the attack.
During the investigation, the irascible spectator again had a deplorable attitude. Rather than admitting his wrongs, he blamed the teenager and would even have liked him to apologize. In addition, he had already been sentenced for threats against his wife, in 2021. The suspended sentence pronounced then was therefore revoked and a global sentence of 100 day fines of 30 francs (i.e. a total of 3,000 francs) was imposed. Although the teenager was not injured, he was seriously affected and compensation for moral harm was awarded to him. In addition, the violent character, also AI, was banned from the stadium for a period of three years.
