Police report challenged by Gigi Birofio
In a series of interviews and social media posts, Gigi Birofio has publicly refuted the police version of events surrounding a car accident he was involved in. The incident, which occurred on the A81, involved Birofio's Corvette and two other cars, resulting in an estimated property damage of approximately 140,000 euros.
According to Birofio, aquaplaning on a wet road was the cause of the accident. He claims that despite braking, he lost control of his car, leading to the crash. However, the police report suggests that excessive speed was likely the culprit, and that Birofio was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident.
The police investigation is ongoing, and includes inquiries into speeding, seatbelt violation, and negligent bodily injury. Birofio insists that he was wearing a seatbelt, and disputes the police's version of events. He has stated that stories showing him driving without a seatbelt were filmed in "two completely different moments" in the car.
The investigation into Birofio's seatbelt usage is ongoing, with the police in Heilbronn still investigating whether Birofio was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident. All parties involved sustained minor injuries.
| Aspect | Gigi Birofio's Claim | Police Report | |----------------------|-------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| | Accident Cause | Aquaplaning on wet road causing loss of control despite braking | Probably excessive speed causing accident | | Seatbelt Use | He insists he was wearing a seatbelt | Police found he was not wearing a seatbelt | | Investigation Status | Ongoing; Birofio disputes police's version | Ongoing; investigating speeding, seatbelt breach and negligence |
Birofio has emphasized the danger of aquaplaning and has denied speeding and seatbelt negligence. Meanwhile, the police maintain their findings based on observations at the accident scene and continue their legal investigation. The outcome of this investigation is yet to be determined.

[3] Gigi Birofio disputes the police report's claim of excessive speed. [4] Gigi Birofio claims he lost control of his car due to aquaplaning. [5] The investigation into Gigi Birofio's seatbelt usage is ongoing.
I'm not going to be able to defend myself from the police's report suggesting inappropriate speed and seatbelt negligence, as RTL reports. However, I maintain that aquaplaning caused me to lose control of my car, a claim that disputes the police report.
