Public Prosecutor calls for suspensions and fines for both Westerlo and Genk following salon draw

As previously indicated, the outcome between Westerlo and Racing Genk on the last matchday in the Jupiler Pro League will continue. The Federal Public Prosecutor's Office published a press release on Monday stating that it wants to call both teams for the upcoming session of the Disciplinary Council. In addition, fines of more than 20,000 euros are being demanded for both clubs.

The last minutes in the Westelse Kuipje have been eagerly talked about since last week. Both teams stopped playing football quite ostentatiously in extra time, after it was already known that both Westerlo and Racing Genk had achieved their goal: the Gamecocks a place in the Europe play-offs and the Limburgers one in the Champions' play-offs.

“The match was “frozen” by both teams in the last five minutes of the added time, which amounted to a total of six minutes,” said the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, which strongly condemned the scenes. “What happened then is classified by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office as (a form of) blatant game cheating in which spectators, other teams from the series and neutral football fans were simply cheated. The game of football was not played fairly and it goes without saying that this shabby display did not benefit the image of Belgian football and by extension the Royal Belgian Football Association and the Pro League.”

That is why both teams, both coaches and the clubs themselves are summoned to the session of the Professional Football Disciplinary Committee on April 5. The Federal Public Prosecutor's Office demands a three-match suspension for Wouter Vrancken (Genk coach), as well as for Rik De Mil (now Charleroi coach).

1,000 euros are each demanded from the players of both clubs. With the exception of Nicolas Madsen (Westerlo) and Joris Kayembe (Genk). Because they simply passed the ball to each other, they were sentenced to a two-match suspension + a fine of 2,000 euros. The clubs themselves would have to donate 10,000 euros each. In total, Westerlo would have to cough up 24.5,000, Racing Genk 23.5,000. Christopher Bonsu Baah does not seem to be punished, because he was already sent off the field with a red card before the events.
