Ousmane Dembele has to pay a fine of 10,000 euros to his former landlord for the chaos he caused in his Dortmund apartment building. This was decided by the Dortmund district court on Monday.
According to his landlord, Dembele had left his rented accommodation in an unacceptable condition when he moved from Borussia Dortmund to FC Barcelona in the summer of 2017.
As a result, the landlord Gerd S. demanded damages in the amount of 21,000 euros in a civil lawsuit. The court now proposed a settlement, which S. reluctantly agreed to.
“The house was totally trashed. Every room. When I entered the house again for the first time, I got a fright. “I have now agreed,” S. said after the trial on Monday opposite the picture. Yet he was very disappointed.
He made heavy accusations against Dembele’s management in particular. Consultant Marco Lichtsteiner had offered him “in between times to tear down the house and build me a new one”, S. von der Bild is quoted as saying, “I have rarely experienced so much arrogance.
In the trial, S. reported on the huge amount of garbage Dembele had left in the garden and an incident in which he was called together with a plumber to take care of a clogged toilet. “It stank all over the house. The whole toilet was stung to death,” S explained.
Dembele lawyer Horst Kletke opposed this accusation, according to the picture, that it is allowed to “stink and be dirty” in an apartment. “The important thing is that it’s all right when you move out. In addition, my client also has a private sphere,” explained Kletke, who sees himself and his client Dembele as winners in the process.
“We took a big step forward today. We did a lot of good ground there,” Kletke said after the trial on Monday. Less the deposit Dembele has to pay 6611,16 Euro.
