Sterling faces two years in prison for drug-induced car crash

Raheem Sterling is set to face British justice after a road accident last May: the former Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea striker crashed his Lamborghini in Hampshire and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. He has now been formally charged with dangerous driving, possession of nitrous oxide intended for inhalation and refusing to provide a sample after refusing to submit to a breathalyzer test. He is due to appear in court on September 15 and faces up to two years in prison.

Sterling's accident

Dashcam footage has helped authorities reconstruct the crash involving the England footballer, who was driving his Lamborghini under the influence of drugs. The crash happened on May 28 at around 9am and, fortunately, no other vehicles were involved and no one was injured. Sterling was arrested at the scene after police intervened and has now been charged with three counts in total: he was released on bail at the time, but now faces a prison sentence, the Sun reports.

Among the charges is possession of nitrous oxide, commonly known as “laughing gas” (in Italy it is “balloon drug”), a substance included in the category C of exemptions in the United Kingdom, so its possession and inhalation are illegal, but which is unfortunately quite popular among footballers of a certain level. The former Chelsea player is currently without a club after the end of his experience with Feyenoord, which lasted only a year, and risks serious legal consequences. If found guilty of dangerous driving, he could be sentenced to two years in prison.

Asllani, no one in Serie A wants him: the Arab route opens for Inter, Al Jazira wants the Albanian

Kristjan Asllani, the Albanian midfielder who has had some loan experiences, does not seem to be part of Inter's plans. While the black and blue directors are looking for a solution for his future before the transfer window closes, a new opportunity has opened up in the Middle East. The Al Jazira club has shown serious interest, although the parties' preferences for the transfer differ.

How Rama is leading the country towards civil strife

Insisting on violence, on arming civilians, on paying police officers as if they were mercenaries, alone does not produce peace. Edi Rama's fear of where he will end up when he is no longer prime minister does not have to become Albania's nightmare.

Andi Bushati: Why stones and Molotov cocktails became inevitable

This youth revolt has had a great merit. It made known to the general public the most criminal side of this regime that had until now been preserved in the most secretive recesses. If the extremely peaceful revolution of the flamingos showed us that this government was no longer popular, its radical epilogue, with stones and Molotov cocktails, is serving to bring to light that the autocrat is capable of using any means to stay in power.
