Overview
- Garnacho pleaded guilty in March 2026 at Liverpool Magistrates' Court and received a £660 fine, £120 in costs, a £264 victim surcharge, and three penalty points.
- Court papers say a speed camera recorded him at 50mph in a 40mph zone on Carrington Lane near Manchester United’s training base in August 2025, four days before his £40m move to Chelsea.
- Greater Manchester Police sent letters in October 2025 asking him to identify the driver, and prosecutors later withdrew that separate charge after his guilty plea to speeding.
- His lawyers at JMW Solicitors told the court he accepts the offence, called it an oversight, and said he is embarrassed by his actions.
- Under the Single Justice Procedure, a single magistrate decides low‑level, uncontested cases on written evidence outside open court, which is why the hearing took place behind closed doors.
