Football referee, who was beaten in Turkey, makes a new statement

Turkish referee, Halil Umut Meler, beaten by Ankaragucu president Faruk Koca, made a new statement.

This time he said that he wants his offender to be punished not only in sports terms, but also to the fullest extent of the law, writes A Spor.

As you know, Faruk Koca received a lifelong ban, however, according to Mehler, this is too lenient a punishment. At the same time, Koca will appear in court for causing bodily harm to a public servant.

"I hope that all those responsible for this incident will be severely punished. This disgusting event has been in the spotlight of public attention for several days now. It is necessary to consider it not only within the framework of sports competitions, since violence often occurs in other areas of life and gives rise to irreversible consequences .

I will believe that this case will become a negative example for others,” he said.

It is reasonable to mention that in addition to the ban for the president, Ankaragucu was also forced to pay a fine of 69 thousand dollars. In addition, the team will play five home matches without fans.
