Lucas Hernandez “is up to his neck” – lawyer thinks detention is likely

Defense attorney Mathias Bradler is holding a sentence for Lucas Hernandez after his Contact ban violation in 2019 his current wife Amelia in Spain for likely.

“On Thursday he is up to his neck,” said Bradler in an interview with the image-Newspaper with a view to the pending decision in the case before the Spanish court. The decision was imposed as a result of a violent argument on the street between Hernandez and his girlfriend at the time. After the two had reconciled, the French broke the still valid ban.

If a court fails to rule on the Frenchman’s appeal by Thursday, Hernandez faces a six-month prison sentence in Spain. Bradler even thinks this is likely in the case of the French international: “If I may venture a prediction: Lucas Hernandez will be arrested on Thursday,” he said, explaining the peculiarity of the Spanish judiciary.

Hernandez appealed against the court’s decision to sentence him to a prison term for violating the ban on contact and “then comes something very decisive: This appeal has no suspensive effect,” explained Bradler: “If someone from the district court in Germany, for example is sentenced to six months’ imprisonment without parole, the convicted person can appeal within a week. “

As soon as the convicted person does so, the appeal unfolds “a blocking effect. If the appeal is received by the court, nothing happens. Until the appeal has been decided, he is considered innocent.” In Spain, however, things are going differently than on Monday Bavaria’s honorary president Uli Hoeneß enraged (“This is all ridiculous, completely gaga.”).

Bayern star Hernandez: lawyers “have to work miracles”

“If that existed in Spain too, it would be powdered sugar for Mr. Hernandez,” continued the defense lawyer in Heinsberg and Mönchengladbach: “The appeal that he has lodged is being processed. But the processing time is at his expense. that was given to him until the start of the sentence continues and ends on Thursday. Then he has to surrender. “

Now Hernandez’s lawyers would have to “work a little miracle” and “get the court to put the execution of the sentence on the back burner,” Bradler said. However, he also thinks this is unlikely because Hernandez is a repeat offender. He was previously convicted of another domestic violence case by the Spanish judiciary.

“The court may already be wondering why he should get parole. In Spain the courts hang the issue of domestic violence very high. Because the Spanish legal system tries to protect the family area in particular,” explained Bradler, who also had the possibility that Hernandez can serve his sentence in Germany, believes it is unlikely: “The German judiciary has nothing to do with this man. He has been sentenced as a French citizen in Spain. He will have to serve his sentence in Spain.”

In “a correctional facility together with serious criminals”, the 25-year-old will probably not have to, but serve the sentence in an open prison. “Prisoners in open prison are basically allowed to continue doing their job. I can well imagine that he can keep fit at a club. And the appeal continues even if he is in custody. If it is then decided that the first instance was wrong, the prison door opens immediately and he is entitled to compensation. “
