Karim Adeyemi Issued €450,000 Penal Order Over Illegal Weapons Possession

The sanction adds pressure to Dortmund contract talks, with Premier League interest growing.

Overview

  • Prosecutors confirmed a penal order issued by the Wetter district court became legally binding on October 30, with a fine set at 60 day-fines of €7,500 each.
  • Media reports say police found a brass knuckle and a Taser, both prohibited under German weapons law, leading to an entry in the federal register that falls below the threshold for a criminal record.
  • Adeyemi has not commented publicly; his lawyer referenced a TikTok-ordered “mystery box” in connection with the items without providing details, and Dortmund said it addresses such matters internally.
  • The Dortmund forward remains with Germany’s national team after missing the Luxembourg qualifier through suspension and is expected to be available for Slovakia.
  • Contract talks continue with his current deal running to 2027, as reports cite a dispute over an exit clause near €80 million and fresh interest from Manchester United and Arsenal following his switch to agent Jorge Mendes.
