A Spanish court asks the French star to choose a place to serve his prison sentence
A spokesman for the Spanish Ministry of Justice confirmed yesterday that the French national team star, Lucas Hernandez, defender of Bayern Munich, must appear before a court in Madrid, next week, to face a six-month prison sentence.
Hernandez, 25, must inform the court, next Tuesday, of the place where he will serve the prison sentence, which was imposed on him the day before yesterday, for violating an order to prevent exposure in 2017 during his career at Atletico Madrid.
After his appearance in court, the French defender will have 10 days to start serving his prison sentence.
A restraining order was imposed against Hernandez and his girlfriend, after a quarrel broke out between them in 2017, but they returned together to Spain, after their marriage, before the expiration of the penalty for not approaching each other, which is valid for six months.
Hernandez was accused of violating the restraining order, but it was reported that the penalty fell against his wife, because she did not receive the original decision of the court ruling.
Regulations in Spain stipulate that punishment applies, even in the case of conciliation, as this prevents any kind of forced conciliation.
Lucas Hernandez violated his girlfriend's no-compromise order.
