West Ham believe it unlikely that starman Dimitri Payet will need to travel to the island of Reunion for a court hearing this month or next.
Originally there were fears that the midfielder would miss at least one game should be be forced to travel back to his homeland for the hearing but that is now considered improbable..
Payet was caught by cops doing 106mph on a 55mph road in his Audi Quattro RS5 on July 3. They seized the supercar and confiscated the 28-year-old’s licence. He risks a three-year ban and £1,000 fine.
A court hearing is due to be held later this month or next but the Hammers believe it’s very unlikely to involve a personal appearance by the midfielder.
The date of the trial is unknown at this point but a well placed Hammers source said: “It seems more probablr that he will be represented in court by his legal team rather than have to make a personal appearance.”
The club has not been informed of a date for the hearing at this stage.
After showing his speed on monday he doesn’t need a car 😀
Just bung the judge a few quid & the case will soon get dropped,lol
Thats handy,fair old trip to Reunion.They are too busy there at the moment looking for bits of that Malaysian Airlines plane.Payet is small fry in comparission.Sling them a few bob & the paperwork will soon vanish 😉
Thought I was go to look in and read some dick put its a non story,
Even in this country he would probably not go to court,in a small place like that it must have been like back to the future,
But break the law you have to pay the piper,unlucky place is not run by an ex FIFA man,
He,s naughty then as well??.keep up the speed?? But only on the pitch.
