Former Premier League star Michail Antonio at risk of driving ban

  • Former Premier League footballer Michail Antonio has been found guilty of failing to identify the driver of his Lamborghini, which was caught speeding in Birmingham last year.
  • He faces the prospect of this conviction adding six penalty points to his licence, potentially leading to a driving ban under “totting up” procedures as he already has six points.
  • Antonio is due to be sentenced by magistrates in Birmingham on 19 June for this offence.
  • In a separate legal matter, he is accused of failing to respond to the Metropolitan Police regarding an alleged driving incident on Pall Mall in November last year.
  • Antonio has pleaded not guilty to the Pall Mall charge, stating the vehicle was on hire, with this case adjourned for a public hearing on 7 July.
