Overview

• Jens Lehmann was stopped by Munich police on September 23, 2024, after erratic driving following Oktoberfest, with a blood alcohol level of 0.72‰ confirmed by a test.
• Lehmann admitted to consuming alcohol but denied being intoxicated or exhibiting symptoms such as slurred speech or motor impairment.
• The court imposed a €1,000 fine and a one-month driving ban, significantly reducing the initially proposed €72,000 penalty.
• Lehmann's defense argued the penalty was disproportionate and questioned the credibility of police officers and the medical professional involved in the case.
• The court considered expert testimony suggesting Lehmann's behavior could partly be attributed to his personality rather than alcohol consumption.
