Levski Sofia fined over 'Nazi' boys case at cup final


SOFIA (Reuters) - Levski Sofia have been fined 37,500 levs (16,757 pounds) after a child made a Nazi salute and another showed a swastika scrawling on his bare chest during the Bulgarian cup final last week, the domestic football union (BFU) said on Friday.

The images of the shirtless young boys standing on the athletics track at the Vasil Levski national stadium caused a public outcry after being posted online. The children appeared to be well under 10-years-old.
