Benjamin Pavard has had his driver’s license provisionally surrendered for drunk driving. There was an additional fine on the part of FC Bayern.
Benjamin Pavard currently has to be driven to the FC Bayern training ground. The background: Apparently he was caught drunk at the wheel a few weeks ago.
Benjamin Pavard is currently not in any leadership roles. Neither as a regular player on the pitch, nor as a driver of his own cars. As the picture reportedly the defender is currently without his driver’s license because he was caught drunk at the wheel.
According to the report, the incident happened about six weeks ago. After a home game in Munich, he is said to have been caught with “well over 0.8 per mille”.
For comparison: From a value of 1.1 per thousand you are considered completely unfit to drive. But it wasn’t that bad for Pavard. That’s why he can still avoid a punishment that would be considered a criminal offense. Instead: Driving ban for at least one month, plus a fine of 500 euros and two points.
In addition, there is the internal club penalty: According to this, the Frenchman had to appear at Hasan Salihamidzic two days after the incident. In addition to another fine in the high five-digit amount, there should also have been a clear speech.
He is currently being driven by a driver to training and back home. Luckily for him: Due to the soon to start world championship he will hardly notice his driving ban.
