Adeyemi Apologizes Over Illegal Weapons Case as BVB, DFB Opt for Community Work

Prosecutors say the October penalty order imposed 60 daily fines.

Overview

  • Karim Adeyemi issued an Instagram apology, saying he carelessly ordered an online 'Mystery Box' that contained items not permitted under weapons law.
  • The penalty order for illegal weapons possession became final on October 30, according to senior prosecutor Michael Burggräf.
  • Borussia Dortmund and the DFB agreed he will support a social project in Dortmund’s Nordstadt, conducting training sessions with children.
  • BVB said it will not levy an additional club fine, noting the legal penalty, the absence of harm to others, and that Adeyemi is not considered previously convicted.
