Jon Karrikaburu investigated after 0.73 mg/l breath test, could face ban or jail | OneFootball

Jon Karrikaburu, 23, was detained on Sunday and is under investigation after a 0.73 mg/l breath test.

Navarra.com reports events began about 18:15 on Sunday 13 September when a car owned by the forward left the N-121-A and was disabled. He was not driving, another occupant was, and a different passenger later tested negative.

After the crash, another vehicle left the area and made an illegal manoeuvre noticed by an off-duty Pamplona municipal officer. Patrols were alerted and the Guardia Civil found the car with Karrikaburu at the wheel.

The reading exceeds the 0.60 mg/l limit that triggers criminal proceedings. The case file will go to a Pamplona court for a fast-track hearing, and officials will confirm whether the car he was stopped in is also registered to him, which could complicate matters.

Penalties can include three to six months in prison, a fine of six to 12 months or 31 to 90 days of community service, plus a driving ban of one to four years, though jail is seen as unlikely.

The incident followed his first start of the season for Burgos, when he scored and assisted in a 3-1 win over Ceuta at El Plantío. It comes days before his 24th birthday. The Navarrese left Real Sociedad after loans at Leganés, Alavés, Andorra and Racing de Santander, then joined Burgos on a deal to 2028.
