The latter had just reported to the main referee Ovidiu Hategan, Romanian like his colleague, the reaction too vehement to his liking of Pierre Achille Webo, Cameroonian member of the Basaksehir management, after an arbitration decision. According to the sound clips broadcast by RMC Sport, the fourth referee Sebastian Coltescu would have pronounced the following sentence: “(It is) the Black here. Go see and identify him. This guy, the Black (negru in Romanian, editor’s note)” .
“These are racist comments, without a doubt”
The Romanian Football Federation (FRF), for its part, said in a statement to “firmly distance itself from any action or statement with racist or xenophobic connotations”. “We are waiting for the UEFA report to find out exactly what happened and act accordingly,” added the FRF. The arbitrator’s remarks also aroused strong criticism from the National Anti-Discrimination Council in Romania (CNCD), which stressed that “the role of the arbitrators is precisely that of sanctioning racist acts”.
“These are racist remarks, without a doubt (…), this referee completely ignores the values and rules of the FRF, UEFA and FIFA,” said CNCD president Csaba Asztalos. “It is a huge stain on Romania and on Romanian arbitration, an incident of extreme gravity,” he insisted.
