Life can be unpredictable sometimes. Nearly five years ago, Benjamin Pavard was tasting the ultimate glory with France at the2018 World Cupin Russia. Now, the Bayern Munich defender is making the headlines for the wrong reasons.
According to LâEquipe, the French right-back will go on trial at the Munich District Court on Wednesday after being arrested for drunk driving on August 4. With 1.4 g of alcohol in his blood, he was well above the limit.
The Munich publicâs prosecutorâs office determined that a person driving with a blood alcohol level above 1.1 per thousand is considered âabsolutely incapableâ of driving. On Wednesday, Pavard will know the courtâs decision.
What kind of penalty Benjamin Pavard could face
Pavard has already received a penalty order from the magistratesâ court, and heâll get to know the final punishment during a public criminal trial in Munich next week.
As LâEquipe notes, the 26-year-old defender incursa fine equivalent to approximately two months of salary as well as a one-year driverâs license ban. Not long ago, Pavard said: âI made a mistake and I admitted it. Nobody is perfect, I learned from it.â
