Jens Lehmann Awaits Trial for Alleged Drunk Driving After Oktoberfest

The former German goalkeeper has admitted to misjudging his condition but denies severe intoxication, with the trial set for April 3, 2025.

Jens Lehmann faces a trial at the Munich District Court on April 3, 2025, following allegations of drunk driving after Oktoberfest in 2024.
The court previously issued a penalty order including a fine of 80 daily rates and a temporary license suspension, which Lehmann has appealed.
Lehmann admitted to making a mistake and expressed regret, acknowledging a blood alcohol level of 0.7‰ but denying claims of being 'totally drunk.'
The reasons behind Lehmann's appeal against the penalty order remain undisclosed, with the presumption of innocence applying until a verdict is reached.
This incident follows a prior conviction in 2023 for property damage involving a chainsaw, adding to scrutiny of Lehmann's legal and public image.
