Seven people have been punished for acts of racism towards Real Madrid\u2019s Brazil forward Vinicius Jr.<\/p>\n
Four men were fined 60,001 euros (\u00a351,700) and given a two-year stadium ban for\u00a0hanging an effigy of Vinicius\u00a0near Real\u2019s training ground in January.<\/p>\n
The four men were arrested 11 days ago and released on bail by a Madrid court.<\/p>\n

Three other people were fined 5,000 euros (\u00a34,300) and banned for one year for making racist gestures during Real\u2019s game at Valencia on 21 May.<\/p>\n
Those three are aged between 18 and 21, the police said and were\u00a0detained two days after the game.<\/p>\n
The sanctions were given by Spain\u2019s State Commission against Violence, Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance in Sport, said the country\u2019s Sports Commission on Monday.<\/p>\n
Vinicius, whose red card for violent conduct late in the Valencia match\u00a0was rescinded,\u00a0later said the Spanish league \u201cbelongs to racists\u201d.<\/p>\n
La Liga president Javier Tebas and the league\u2019s handling of the incident was widely condemned after he told Vinicius on social media that \u201cyou need to inform yourself properly\u201d.<\/p>\n
Tebas later apologised to Vinicius,\u00a0saying he did not mean to \u201cattack\u201d the 22-year-old.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian government called for severe sanctions against those responsible for the racial slurs and La Liga said it will seek \u201cmore sanctioning powers\u201d to ensure it can punish such incidents.<\/p>\n
Brazil will play friendlies against Guinea and Senegal in Lisbon on 17 and 20 June, as part of an anti-racism campaign.<\/p>\n
