Overview
- A legally binding penal order from October 30 set a fine of 60 day-fines totaling €450,000 for illegal weapons possession, authorities confirmed.
- Adeyemi said he ordered a 'Mystery Box' in early 2024 and called it a 'huge mistake', explaining the package arrived months later and ended up with police by chance.
- Police reports cited prohibited items including three knives, two knuckle-dusters, a telescopic baton, a blinding light and two balaclavas.
- BVB leaders Lars Ricken and Sebastian Kehl, in coordination with DFB officials Rudi Völler and Julian Nagelsmann, arranged for Adeyemi to run training sessions with children in Dortmund’s Nordstadtliga rather than face on-field penalties.
- Club officials noted he is still regarded as not previously convicted, and media report agent Jorge Mendes has sounded out potential interest, including exploratory contact with Inter Milan, with no concrete move indicated.
