Premier League star faces losing his licence! Michail Antonio found guilty in London court
Former West Ham striker Michail Antonio is facing serious legal trouble and risks losing his driving licence.
Details: The 36-year-old Jamaican forward Michail Antonio was found guilty of a driving offence after failing to assist a police investigation. According to British newspaper Daily Mail, the former West Ham player now faces an official driving ban.
The court case stemmed from an incident on London’s Pall Mall, where a Lamborghini belonging to the footballer was being driven late at night without due care and attention. Metropolitan Police charged the striker after he refused to identify the driver. At Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court, Antonio claimed that he had been in Manchester at the time and had lent the supercar to his cousin, but the judge ruled that his failure to cooperate with the investigation constituted a proven offence.
Michail Antonio was a key figure in West Ham’s attack for many years, scoring more than 80 goals for the Hammers in all competitions and helping them win the UEFA Conference League. This is far from the first high-profile road incident in the 36-year-old Jamaica international’s career — he previously made tabloid headlines after a notorious crash over the Christmas period.
