The FIGC Federal Prosecutor's Office will hold a hearing with Francesco Acerbi regarding the racism accusations leveled against him by Juan Jesus, Napoli defender. Federal Prosecutor Giuseppe Chinè will connect via video conference with the Inter player from Appiano Gentile.
The decision to listen to Acerbi came after the Napoli defender publicly denounced having been subjected to racist insults during a match against Inter. Acerbi, for his part, categorically rejected the accusations of racism.
According to sources close to the situation, Acerbi is likely to confirm his version of events during the hearing. The defender will most likely remain faithful to the defensive line he has adopted in recent weeks.
Acerbi's hearing represents an important step in the ongoing investigation and could have a significant impact on the direction that the investigation conducted by the FIGC will take.
