Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 26 - Inter defender Francesco Acerbi was cleared Tuesday of aiming a racial slur against Napoli defender Juan Jesus with Serie A's sporting judge ruling there was insufficient evidence to convict him of the offence.
    The Brazil defender had said the Italy centre back had called him a negro, a claim Acerbi denied.
    The alleged incident occurred in the teams' 1-1 draw at the San Siro just over a week ago.
    Inter are the runaway leaders of Serie A this term while champions Napoli have slipped way off the pace. (ANSA).
