Lawyer Onyewu: "Complaint is a signal"

In the papers, lawyer Jean-Louis Dupont, explains the complaint of Oguchi Onyewu against Van Damme. "Oguchi was convinced it was his duty to file a complaint.”

According to Dupont Onyewu wants to talk in name of the “smaller” football players. “It’s time to make a clear signal towards this form of racism in a professional sport,” says Dupont. “It’s not our intention to put Jelle into jail, and we don’t want any money as well.” The lawyer hopes Jelle apologises in public. Then there will be no case he says.
