HSV remains in turmoil. Jean-Luc Dompé has caused the next scandal with criminal relevance.

On Wednesday evening, Bild reported that the winger was stopped by a police patrol car in downtown Hamburg at 7:00 a.m. last Sunday while driving his Audi. An alcohol test was conducted – with negative consequences for Dompé. The test reportedly showed a blood alcohol level of 1.4 per mille.

Afterwards, the 30-year-old, who had only extended his contract until 2027 last April, was taken to a police station. There, he had to undergo a blood test. In addition, his driver’s license was confiscated. Dompé is unlikely to get it back any time soon. He also faces criminal proceedings for driving under the influence. According to the penal code, such an offense can be punished with up to one year in prison or a fine.

Dompé previously caused a car accident

The player himself informed HSV – which is already heavily occupied with the separation from Stefan Kuntz, who faces allegations of sexual harassment – about the incident. How the club has reacted is not yet known. At the latest, coach Merlin Polzin will have to provide an answer to the public at the press conference before the home game against FC Bayern.

Incidentally, Dompé had already committed another traffic offense during his time in Hamburg. In February 2023, he was involved in an illegal street race with his teammate William Mikelbrencis, crashed a BMW into a bus stop in St. Pauli, and then fled the scene. The Frenchman received a penalty order from the court and had to pay around 45,000 euros. This time, he faces even harsher consequences.
