A Rabat court on Monday sentenced an Algerian football fan, widely known as the man who urinated in the stands, to three months in prison and a 500-dirham fine.

The Rabat First Instance Court convicted the man, who was tried in detention, on charges of public indecency and using obscene or immoral language toward a person or group during a sports event.

The verdict comes after the incident drew widespread attention during a match, prompting authorities to pursue legal action under Morocco’s laws governing public conduct and sports-related offenses.
