Romanian Fourth Official, Sebastian Coltescu’s Instagram Account Hacked After Racism Saga

Romanian fourth official, Sebastian Coltescu’s Instagram page has been hacked after he was accused of racially abusing Istanbul Basaksehir assistant coach Pierre Webo.
The Instagram account isn’t verified and is private but appears to be that of Coltescu.

Coltescu’s alleged use of racist language led to both Basaksehir and their opponents Paris Saint-Germain walking off the field in protest and the abandonment of Tuesday night’s Champions League match at the Parc des Princes.
The remaining 76 minutes of the Group H match has been rescheduled for Wednesday evening and will be overseen by a different UEFA refereeing team.
Webo vehemently protested a decision on the touchline during the first half of the match.
As the referee came over, footage appeared to show Coltescu identifying Webo by saying: ‘The black one over there. Go and check who he is. The black one over there, it’s not possible to act like that’.
It is believed Coltescu said ‘negru’, the Romanian word for black.
A furious Webo heard this and immediately accused Coltescu of racism. He had to be restrained by other members of the coaching staff as he was shown a straight red card.

Ex-Chelsea striker Demba Ba, a substitute for the Turkish side, charged in the direction of Coltescu to question why he had used the word to identify Webo.
He said: ‘You never say “this white guy”, you say “this guy”, so why when you’re mentioning him… listen to me… why when you mention a black guy, why do you say “this black guy.”‘

Players and staff from both teams then got involved, and the Turkish side left the pitch after around 10 minutes of discussions with referee Ovidiu Hategan.
TV footage also showed PSG’s French defender Presnel Kimpembe saying: ‘Is he serious? We are heading in. We’re heading in. That’s it, we’re heading in.’
PSG stars Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Marquinhos were all seen on the touchline in discussion with Coltescu. Basaksehir coach Okan Buruk could be heard yelling ‘you are racist’ to Coltescu.
PSG players immediately followed their Turkish counterparts down the tunnel with the game at Parc des Princes suspended at 0-0.

After a lengthy delay, the game was called off and the remaining minutes will now be played on Wednesday at 6:55pm local time with a new refereeing team in charge led by Holland’s Danny Makkelie.
