Daniel Maldini Faces DUI Complaint After Early-Morning Milan Crash

Pending laboratory toxicology will determine whether criminal, driving or sporting consequences follow.

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.
