The Brazil defender said the Italy centre back 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.
Napoli subsequently blasted Acerbi’s acquittal.
“We’re dumbfounded, Juan Jesus cannot have misunderstood [what Acerbi said],” they said.
“We remain astonished.
“Napoli will no longer adhere to mere façade initiatives of football institutions against racism and discrimination, we will continue to do them on our own, as we have always done, with renewed conviction and determination”, the Azzurri said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Jesus posted a picture of himself with his fist raised in the Black Power and Black Lives Matter salute Tuesday.
The player has changed his Instagram profile photo with the image that recalls the battles against racism fought by the Black Power movement.
