Adeyemi Apologizes After Gun Charge Conviction - Karim Adeyemi convicted after illegal weapons found in ‘mystery box’
Borussia Dortmund and Germany forward Karim Adeyemi has been convicted of illegal weapon possession. The case began after a friend travelling to Greece accidentally carried a package containing prohibited items on his behalf. A fine and community service now follow the court’s decision.
The incident unfolded in the summer of 2024 when Adeyemi asked a friend to transport a package of cosmetics and clothes to Greece. Unbeknownst to the friend, the items included a 'mystery box' Adeyemi had ordered online. This box contained illegal weapons, leading to the discovery of the offence.
The conviction marks the end of the legal process for Adeyemi. His penalty includes a financial fine and mandatory community service. The player has acknowledged his mistake and expressed regret for the situation.
