It is not the first time Zidan has been alleged to drive fast.
Earlier in the month, when he was driving a reporter from
Danish newspaper BT to Herning Station after an interview,
he allegedly also speeded excessively, or so the reporter
claimed afterwards.
He has a court-date on the 5th of Januray, almost exactly
a month before the court-case regarding his stolen watch incident.
In that matter, Zidan is charged with paragraph 290, section
1, which deals with theft and purchase of stolen goods. The
police prosecutor has stated that he is looking to get 18
months in jail for Zidan! However, 18 months is the maximum
punishment one can get for this offence.
Zidan's lawyer, Fleming Jensen, is fairly confident that
his client will get no more than a fine. He commented, "I
think that most people can agree that 18 months in jail is
excessive for this situation. We feel confident that he will
be cleared of all charges. But if he is found guilty, I'm
sure he'll receive no more than a fine, possibly a suspended
sentence."
FCM's Sports Director Jens Orgaard has stated that the club
supports Zidan 100%. They believe he is innocent, and that
he will be cleared of all accusations.
Zidan himself could not be reached for a comment, as he is
on vacation. Whether this new brush with the law will have
any consequences for Zidan's ambitions to play for a big club
soon, only time will tell. But everybody can agree that all
the negative exposure is definitely not helpful for his reputation...
