Overview
- Prosecutors in Hagen confirmed a penalty order issued by the Amtsgericht Wetter became legally binding on October 30 for a 23-year-old pro, which WDR identified as Adeyemi.
- Reports say police found a brass knuckle and an electroshock device in his possession, an offense that can carry up to three years in prison, though he received 60 day-fines at €7,500 each.
- The sanction totals €450,000 and triggers an entry in the federal register without constituting a prior conviction under German law.
- Julian Nagelsmann said he and Rudi Völler spoke with the player and that no immediate sanctions will precede Monday’s qualifier in Leipzig, where Germany can clinch with a draw.
- Adeyemi has not commented; his lawyer linked the items to a TikTok “mystery box,” while Borussia Dortmund said it is addressing the case internally as transfer interest in the winger is being reported.
