Prosecutors Issue Penal Order Against Reality Star Gigi Birofio Over 2025 Autobahn Crash

The order sets 60 day-fines, with a court to set the daily amount based on his income.

Overview

  • German prosecutors confirmed Tuesday a Strafbefehl for negligent bodily harm after an August 2025 A81 crash near Heilbronn that left two people with minor injuries.
  • A Strafbefehl is a written penal order that can be accepted or challenged without a full trial.
  • The penalty totals 60 day-fines, and a court will decide the value of each day based on Birofio’s earnings.
  • Birofio said he will pay €25,000 to the injured parties as compensation, separate from the criminal fine.
  • He says aquaplaning in heavy rain caused the wreck, while police findings point to excessive speed on a wet road and a possible seatbelt offense.
