Overview

  • Karim Adeyemi accepted a penal order for illegal weapons possession after police found a brass knuckle and a taser, resulting in a €450,000 fine.
  • The public prosecutor confirmed the order became legally binding on October 30.
  • Adeyemi stayed in Germany’s squad but did not play in the 6–0 win over Slovakia, with reports suggesting the decision reflected the off‑field issue.
  • Rudi Völler said the DFB was unaware until BVB’s Lars Ricken informed him after the Luxembourg match, after which Völler and Julian Nagelsmann met Adeyemi to hear his explanation.
  • Völler labeled the conduct “naive” and “dumb,” said the player likely hoped it would not become public, and stated the DFB will work through the matter with Borussia Dortmund, with any disciplinary steps still to be determined.
