UEFA fines Serbian club Red Star Belgrade 90,000 euros after supporters chant in honor of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić during matches, according to reporting from The Independent.
The articles note that Mladić, who died last week at age 84, was serving a life sentence for genocide. The UEFA fine is presented as a response to what UEFA characterizes as inappropriate or discriminatory behaviour linked to his legacy.
While the outlets share the same core facts—the club, the sanction amount, and the nature of the chants—there is limited additional detail in the provided excerpts about the match date, specific incident circumstances, or whether Red Star Belgrade plans to appeal. Overall, the coverage focuses on UEFA’s disciplinary action and the broader context of Mladić’s death while he remains central to ongoing legal and political sensitivities.
