Overview

  • Former German national goalkeeper Jens Lehmann admitted to driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.72‰ after attending Oktoberfest in September 2024.
  • The court classified the incident as an administrative offense, imposing a €1,000 fine and confirming a one-month driving ban, which Lehmann had already completed.
  • Lehmann denied being intoxicated, arguing he had no symptoms of impairment and attributed his behavior to factors unrelated to alcohol consumption.
  • The court acknowledged Lehmann's inappropriate behavior during the police stop but ruled it insufficient to prove criminal intoxication.
  • Lehmann's prior legal issues, including a 2024 conviction for property damage, and his defense's claims of unfair treatment, were highlighted during the trial.
