Police in England have confirmed that no further action will be taken regarding an investigation into a banner unveiled by Crystal Palace fans.
The banner, on display in the Holmesdale End of Selhurst Park during Palace's 1-1 draw with Newcastle on Saturday, highlighted human rights issues in Saudi Arabia and criticised the Premier League’s owners’ and directors’ test.
It occurred after the Premier League gave the go-ahead for a consortium led by Saudi Arabia’s state sovereign wealth fund (Public Investment Fund) to take control of Newcastle earlier this month.
A statement from the official Croydon Metropolitan Police Twitter account read: "On Saturday, a member of the public contacted us to raise concerns about a banner displayed at the Crystal Palace vs Newcastle match at Selhurst Park.
"Following an assessment, officers have concluded that no offences have been committed. No further action will be taken."
