Keita hit with €415,000 fine

Liverpool-bound Naby Keita has reportedly been hit with a 415,000 euros fine for allegedly using a forged driving licence. The Guinea international and RB Leipzig midfielder fell offside with police after twice attempting to gain a German driving permit by using fake Guinean documents. Germany daily Bild quote the figure of 415,000 euros, due to calculations based on Keita's daily salary, and Leipzig's district court would only confirm to SID, an AFP subsidiary, that the fine is a "six-figure sum". The 22-year-old, who will join Liverpool for the 2018/19 season, has lodged an appeal against the penalty and should the matter now go to court, the case is likely to be heard next year. Prosecutors in Leipzig accuse Keita of forgery after he allegedly tried to use fake Guinea driving documents to obtain a German licence last December, then again in January.
