Bundesliga scandal: SK Rapid has to pay 150,000 euros!

Hartberg, Österreich - The SK Rapid faces a tough judgment for serious incidents during a Bundesliga game in Hartberg. The Senate 1 of the Austrian Bundesliga has imposed a fine of 150,000 euros and imposes the club to implement the club at the next home game against either FK Austria Vienna, FC Red Bull Salzburg, LASK or SK Puntigamer Sturm Graz. The punishment specifically affects sectors 15 to 18, which are known as fan stands, as well as the adjacent sectors 4 and 5, which are also blocked to ensure security. Alternatives to home sectoral formation are strictly prohibited, and the guest area must not be opened for your own fans either. This was reported 5min.at .

The Senate clearly commented on the topic by denouncing the "unacceptable events" before the game and their serious consequences, such as extensive damage to property and personal injury as well as massive kick-offs. The numerous criminal records of the association were also included in the decision -making process, which led to the maximum fine. It is emphasized that the SK Rapid, as a guest club, could not be proven to be an organizational fault, which is why earlier, conditional punishments were not revoked. In an official statement, Rapid condemned the aggressive behavior of individual people in the guest sector and announced that he examines measures in the coming days to react to the situation.
