Liverpool’s Salah reported over allegedly using mobile while driving
LONDON, Aug 14, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Egyptian star Mohamed Salah could be in
trouble with police after his club Liverpool passed a video apparently
showing him using his mobile phone while driving.
A spokesman for last season’s Champions League finalists said they passed
the video, which had circulated on social media, on to police after talking
with Salah.
“The club, after discussion with the player, have made Merseyside Police
aware of the footage and the circumstances surrounding its capture,” said the
spokesman cited on the BBC.
“We have spoken to the player also and will deal with any follow-up
internally.
“Neither the club or player will be making any further comment on this
matter.”
Merseyside Police tweeted they had received the footage.
“We have been made aware of a video believed to show a footballer using a
mobile phone whilst driving. This has been passed to the relevant department.
Thanks for letting us know,” they tweeted on their official account.
Salah, who had a remarkable first season with Liverpool scoring 44 goals in
all competitions and opened his account for this campaign with a goal in
their opening 4-0 thrashing of West Ham on Sunday, could if found guilty of
using his mobile face a fine of up to o1000 ($1300, 1100 euro) and points on
his licence.
