Rabat – Spanish authorities arrested an employee of the Eurostars Madrid Tower hotel on Monday accused of posting racist comments on his Instagram profile against Morocco’s national football team, according to Spanish media reports.

The 27-year-old Spanish national posted on his Instagram a string of racist and Islamophobic slurs insulting members of the Moroccan team and Ramdan.

Morocco’s national team arrived at the Madrid Tower Hotel on Sunday ahead of their friendly match against Peru. The perpetrator took several pictures of members of the Moroccan team without their knowledge and posted them on his Instagram account while making fun of the Moroccan players and mocking Ramadan, the holiest month for Muslims.

“Damn f*** Moros. I s*** on Ramadan and it’s f*** dead,” reads one of the screenshots of the insulting posts from the hotel employee.

“The Moroccan team is in the Towers, you are a f*** pain,” another screenshot read.

 

HONTEUX !

Voici ce qu’un membre du personnel de l’hôtel où crèchent nos joueurs a publié sur son Instagram personnel :

« On leur sert la m*rde du Ramadan. Leurs p*tains de croyances de »

« P*tain de maures de m*rde, j’e**erde le Ramadan et leurs p**ains de m*rts ! » pic.twitter.com/nyuLU4WbPc

The incident caused uproar in Moroccan media, and among Moroccan social media users. 

In the wake of the incident, the hotel management released a statement apologizing to the team and Muslims and saying that they have taken legal action against the culprits.

The hotel’s rating plummeted on Monday, going from 4.5 to 2.9 stars. “Unprofessional staff who do not respect their customers and not only complain about servicing them but also take pictures of them inside the hotel without their knowledge,” one reviewer wrote, adding, “Avoid at all costs.”

“Unprofessional staff. Don’t spend your money in places like these, they don’t even respect their clients and violate their privacy,” another one said.
