RB Leipzig is taking action against a spectator following an alleged anti-Semitic incident. During the cup match against FC St. Pauli (4:2), a fan is alleged to have shown the so-called Hitler salute. This was first reported by "Bild".
"RB Leipzig was informed by several fans the day after the DFB Cup match against FC St. Pauli that a spectator at the match had allegedly shown the so-called Hitler salute. A short time later, a spectator submitted a photo documenting the incident," RB told the German Press Agency when asked.
Through "an additional person and seat description", a spectator was quickly identified as the suspected perpetrator. All available video footage from the surveillance cameras has already been analyzed, but it has not been possible to clarify the events beyond doubt, the statement continued.
