Overview
- The player left his lane on Adenauerallee in early July, hit a traffic sign and tried to leave the scene before an off-duty police officer blocked his car and waited for on-duty officers.
- He refused a voluntary breath test, a later blood sample registered 2.1‰ alcohol, and police confiscated his driving licence at the scene.
- The public prosecutor has applied to the court for a nine-month driving ban and a €1,200 fine while the driver's-licence authority may require a Medizinisch-Psychologische Untersuchung (MPU) before the licence is returned.
- Alemannia Aachen imposed an internal fine to be donated to social causes, the club publicly condemned the conduct, and the player apologized after informing the coach and sporting director hours after the incident.
- The case follows a May alcohol-at-the-wheel episode involving a club staffer and raises reputational questions for Alemannia that could affect squad selection and public trust if further sanctions are imposed.
