Is Jesus punished for his statements ... a legal expert answers

The Portuguese coach, Jorge Jesus, became under the microscope of the Discipline Committee after his exciting statements about the referee of the Al -Hilal and Riyadh match. Legal Adviser Ahmed Al -Sheikhi explained that any penalty will not be issued before granting him the right to the official response.

Al -Sheikhi confirmed that Jesus cannot be punished directly, but rather it must be officially notified through Al -Hilal Club, explaining the nature of the violation attributed to him. This gives him the opportunity to defend his position before making any decision.

Al -Sheikhi explained that there is another possibility that the Portuguese coach calls for a appearance before the Discipline Committee, where his statements will be heard before the final decision regarding the punishment.

Although Jesus's statements included criticism of the ruling of the match, Al -Sheikhi indicated that she does not rise to the level of grave insult, which reduces the possibility of imposing harsh penalties on him.

In the event that the violation is proven, the expected penalty will be a fine of no more than 50 thousand riyals, according to the approved regulations, which makes it the lighter between possible penalties.
