Zlatan under investigation: Did he racially offend by mentioning voodoo magic?

The Disciplinary Commission of the Italian Football Federation has launched an investigation against Zlatan Ibrahimovic and is analyzing whether the Swede racially insulted Romelu Lukaku during the match between Milan and Inter in the Coppa Italia.

The two were banned for one game, but the punishment is automatic, because Ibrahimovic received a red card, and Lukaku "accumulated" a sufficient number of yellow cards.

Now the investigation is being conducted against the Milan attacker, the recordings, which were caught by the cameras, are being listened to, and if it turns out that he used racial insults, he could be punished with a ten match suspension.

For now, his words are particularly controversial:

"Go do your voodoo with... you little donkey".

Ibrahimović denied on social media that he racially insulted the Belgian, with the message:

"There is no place for racism in Zlatan's world".

The story about voodoo magic and Lukaku dates back to the time when he played in Everton and decided not to accept an offer to extend his contract, because, allegedly, he received such advice from his mother, who has contact with witch doctors from his native Congo.

Lukaku denied that story, but a trace remained...

As for the message - "little donkey" - it is a phrase often used in English football for players who have poor technique.
