Overview
- The prosecutor in Hagen confirmed a penal order from the Amtsgericht in Wetter after police identified a brass knuckle and a Taser in Adeyemi’s possession, with the decision legally binding since October 30.
- The sanction amounts to 60 day‑fines of €7,500 each, totaling €450,000, which Adeyemi accepted, avoiding a public trial and staying below the 90 day‑fine threshold that triggers a prior‑conviction listing.
- Bundestrainer Julian Nagelsmann said he and DFB sporting director Rudi Völler spoke with the player and will address the case after Monday’s Slovakia match, with no immediate sporting sanctions and Adeyemi remaining in the squad.
- Borussia Dortmund stated it treats criminal allegations seriously and will handle discussions with the player internally under confidentiality.
- Contract discussions and transfer speculation persist, with reports that agent Jorge Mendes is representing Adeyemi, interest from Manchester United and Arsenal, and debate over a potential high release clause in any new deal.
