Accused of sending offensive message, by public communication network

In England, a 43 year-old man has been charged in connection with a racist social media post following the Euro 2020 final.

A police investigation was launched after England's footballers - including Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Bukayo Saka - became the target of online abuse.

Scott McCluskey, from Runcorn in Cheshire, will appear in court on 8th September, accused of sending an offensive message by a public communication network.

The charges relate to a post published on 12th of July, the day after England lost on penalties to Italy, in the Euro 2020 final.
