The Brazilian site “Globo.com” said that a meeting took place between the president of the Brazilian football federation, Ednaldo Rodrigues, and the president of FIFA Gianni Infantino, on Wednesday, September 28, after the friendly match between Tunisia in Brazil.
According to the same source, Ednaldo Rodrigues called Infantino to open an investigation into the banana jet towards striker Richarlison.
The Brazilian site has indicated that sanctions could be imposed on the Tunisian Football Federation, if it turns out that the supporter who launched the banana on the lawn is indeed Tunisian.
The sanctions can range from a simple fine of $ 109 thousand to camera-closed matches and even a removal of points in official competitions.
Brazil dominated Tunisia 5 goals to 1, Tuesday evening at the Parc des Princes.
