Slavia Prague's Ondrej Kudela won't be prosecuted over racist abuse of Glen Kamara
Last updated 9th Mar 2022
Slavia Prague player Ondrej Kudela has been told he will not face criminal proceedings, after being accused of making a racist slur towards Rangers' Glen Kamara.
The Czech international was hit with a ten match ban by UEFA, which found him guilty of racist behaviour at Ibrox, which he denied.
It sparked furious scenes during their Europa League match in March 2021.
Kamara served a three game suspension, after being found to have assaulted Kudela at full time.
Prosecutors have confirmed proceedings against Kudela have been dropped.
A spokesperson for the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service said: “The Procurator Fiscal received reports concerning a 25-year-old male and a 34 year-old-male and incidents said to have occurred on 18th March 2021 in Glasgow.
“After careful consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, including the available admissible evidence, the Procurator Fiscal decided that there should be no proceedings taken at this time.
“The Crown reserves the right to proceed in the future should further evidence become available.”
Kamara has also been told he will not face criminal proceedings.
In a Tweet, his lawyer, Aamer Anwar, said: "My client @GlenKamara4 is happy the matter is at an end. Racism should have no hiding place in football & he’s deeply grateful to his teammates, club @RangersFC & fans from across the football world for their support."
