Overview
- Police say the multi-vehicle collision occurred Sunday morning when Maldini's Porsche failed to yield at the Via Caracciolo and Via Tolentino intersection.
- On-scene breathalyser readings registered 0.91 and 0.89, above Italy's 0.5 legal limit, and officers withdrew his driving licence and filed a complaint for driving under the influence.
- A preliminary roadside drug pretest reportedly came back positive and medical staff drew blood samples that are now awaiting laboratory toxicology for confirmation.
- Six people suffered minor injuries in the crash; Maldini was taken to hospital for checks, later discharged, and his lawyer said he is in good health.
- If laboratory tests confirm prohibited substances, Maldini could face criminal charges, administrative penalties, sporting disciplinary action and possible club sanctions that would affect his selection prospects.
