Munich Prosecutors Open Investigation Into Jérôme Boateng Over Suspected Unlicensed Driving

The case turns a prior driving ban into a potential criminal matter under German law.

Overview

  • Munich’s prosecutor’s office, through spokeswoman Juliane Grotz, confirmed Saturday that it is investigating Boateng on suspicion of driving without a license.
  • BILD has reported that police stopped him on November 6, 2025 on Leopoldstraße in Munich’s Schwabing district while he was driving a tuned Mercedes G63.
  • According to those reports, a legally binding driving ban had been in effect since October 9, 2025 following an administrative traffic offense.
  • Under German law, driving during an active ban can be pursued as “Fahren ohne Fahrerlaubnis,” which can bring a fine or a prison term of up to one year depending on the findings.
  • No indictment or court date has been announced, and Boateng, 37, has not responded publicly as the inquiry proceeds.
