Overview
- Judge Alessandra Sabatucci at the Brescia preliminary hearing declared the offense extinguished and closed the case file.
- The ruling followed a favorable report from the children’s charity Bimbo chiama Bimbo, where Balotelli volunteered over three months at four hours per week.
- The proceeding originated from a November 2023 single-car crash in Brescia and his refusal to undergo an alcohol test requested by local police.
- Balotelli did not attend the hearing and was represented by his lawyer, Luca Broli.
- He has said he will keep working with the association beyond the court-ordered program, and he is 35 and currently a free agent after a spell at Genoa.
