German federation will not prosecute anyone who showed a banner advocating for a boycott of the World Cup in Qatar during the team’s Nations League match against Italy.

The German federation , known as the DFB, alluded to a police statement issued on Wednesday, which stated that the protestors’ actions are protected by free expression and are “not criminally relevant.”

Shortly after the start of Tuesday’s match, a group of demonstrators held a huge banner saying “15,000 dead for big venues — FIFA and Co. without a conscience! Boycott Qatar.”

The group then exited the stadium, raising concerns that the participants had behaved unlawfully and were organising more acts, according to Mönchengladbach police.

Following a tip from stadium security, police stopped the group outside and asked for personal identification.“to protect any civil claims made by the organizer (the DFB),” the police said.

“Everyone was then released,” police stated. “During a subsequent consultation, the DFB notified the Mönchengladbach police that the DFB would not conduct any criminal or association-related actions, and that no personal information would be shared.” The police in Mönchengladbach also took no further action.”
