MADRID-Spanish police detained four men on Tuesday in connection with an incident in which an effigy representing Brazilian soccer star Vinicius Junior was hung from a bridge in January, a day after a senior official said Spanish football had a racism problem. A hate crime investigation was opened after the effigy wearing winger Vinicius Jr's No. 20 shirt was hung from a bridge in front of the training ground of Real Madrid, the player's team, along with a 16-metre red and white banner, the colours of rival team Atletico Madrid, that read 'Madrid hates Real'.
