Bundesliga club Mainz sacked footballer Anwar El Ghazi on Friday, hours after German prosecutors opened an investigation over his social media posts on the Israel-Hamas war.
Mainz tweeted they were “ending the contractual relationship with Anwar El Ghazi and terminated the player with immediate effect”.
Earlier on Friday, German prosecutors said the Dutch footballer is suspected of “disturbing public peace by condoning criminal acts in conjunction with incitement to hatred” through his message on Instagram. El Ghazi was suspended by Mainz on October 17 over the post but the club later said the player could return after he “explicitly distanced himself” from the statements.
“Any other statements, comments or apologies to the contrary attributed to me are not factually correct and have not been made or authorised by me.”
