Overview

• Jens Lehmann is set to face trial on April 3, 2025, for alleged negligent drunk driving following Munich's Oktoberfest in 2024.
• The Munich District Court had issued a penalty order proposing 80 daily fines and a temporary license suspension, which Lehmann has appealed.
• Lehmann admitted to driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.7‰ and expressed regret, calling his actions a 'mistake' but denied being 'totally drunk.'
• The reasons for Lehmann's objection to the penalty order remain unclear, adding uncertainty to the upcoming trial's outcome.
• This trial follows Lehmann's 2024 conviction for property damage involving a chainsaw, which has intensified public and judicial scrutiny of his actions.
