“I will destroy you, don’t you know who I am?”

Our national striker number one still has a lot of room for improvement from a sporting point of view. In the last ten Ligue 1 games, Breel Embolo only started three times, but still scored five goals. Monaco are third and in the middle of the battle for the Champions League places.

Those who were approached “in fear and terror”.

But off the field, the 26-year-old is catching up on an old story. Because Embolo was in the thick of it early in the morning on May 27, 2018. Flashback: It is five o’clock when there is a verbal argument between two groups of people in the Steinenvorstadt in Basel. Embolo is accompanied by two men. The dispute becomes increasingly violent and Embolo is said to have said to a member of the other group, according to Blick’s complaint: “I’ll destroy you, don’t you know who I am?”, “I’ll finish you” and “I” ll do it Flat you» According to the public prosecutor’s office, he put another of the group in “fear and terror” with the words “I’ll let you beat up too”, according to article 180 paragraph 1 of the Penal Code.

Then the fists rule

The argument gets completely out of hand. However, Embolo is then no longer directly involved. But according to the indictment, one of his comrades-in-arms. Because he would have broken the nose of one of the other group with a blow, which is why he is charged with simple bodily harm. The same suspect is later caught with a significant amount of marijuana, for which he is held responsible in the same trial. The facts of the threat are a crime punishable by imprisonment of up to three years or a fine.

Embolo was on probation

The Embolo case is complicated by the fact that the offenses charged against him were committed while he was still on probation. In March 2017, the public prosecutor’s office in Basel-Stadt sentenced him to a conditionally enforceable fine of ten daily rates of CHF 1,000 for violating traffic regulations, illegally conducting learning journeys, not carrying identity cards and permits and violating traffic regulations. Theoretically, it is possible that the sentence will now be carried out. However, this usually only happens when the prognosis is poor.

The main hearing is scheduled for June before the Basel-Stadt criminal court. Neither Embolo’s attorneys in this lawsuit nor his personal attorney would comment on Blick’s request. It is the presumption of innocence.
