Overview
- A district court issued a €450,000 penal order, set at 60 daily rates of €7,500, which became legally binding on October 30 and does not result in a criminal record.
- Authorities found brass knuckles and a taser, items prohibited under German weapons law, with possession alone potentially punishable by prison.
- DFB sporting director Rudi Völler called the conduct naive and stupid, said the federation will address possible sanctions with Dortmund, and noted the DFB learned of the case via club contact Lars Ricken.
- Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann said he spoke with Adeyemi but withheld comment before the Slovakia qualifier, where the player was named on the bench and did not feature in the 6-0 win.
- Borussia Dortmund said it takes such matters seriously and will handle discussions confidentially, while the player’s lawyer told Bild the items came from an online “mystery box,” a claim reported but not independently verified in the coverage.
