Ex-Reading Forward Michail Antonio Disqualified After Lamborghini Court Case
Police say Antonio did not respond to letters identifying the Lamborghini driver, and a judge has reopened one case ahead of a trial lasting about an hour.
- On Thursday, Watford striker Michail Antonio received a six-month driving ban and £2,050 in fines and costs after magistrates convicted him of failing to identify the driver of his Lamborghini during a London traffic incident.
- Metropolitan Police officials alleged Antonio failed to respond to inquiries regarding a November 5, 2025, incident on Pall Mall, though the footballer claimed the official correspondence was lost in the post.
- Partner Sunita Bains testified she manages mail at their £2.2 million Buckinghamshire mansion and never saw the notice, while court records show Antonio already held six penalty points from a July 2025 insurance conviction.
- West Midlands Police initiated an additional prosecution, with a second trial scheduled for March next year to determine if Antonio is liable for failing to name the driver in a separate speeding offence.
- The 36-year-old's recent transfer to Watford follows a ten-year career with West Ham and a brief period at Al-Sailiya, as these legal proceedings continue to complicate his professional status.
