Daniel Maldini’s road accident in Milan has moved into a clearer legal phase after tests found no evidence compatible with driving under the influence of drugs.
Tests sent to prosecutors after Milan accident
- Maldini was involved in a road accident in Milan one week ago, with five people reported to have suffered minor injuries.
- In the immediate aftermath, the Cagliari forward tested positive in a breathalyser check. Local police therefore withdrew his driving licence.
- Investigators ordered further toxicological examinations, with the results now due to be submitted to the public prosecutor’s office.
- The drug test returned a result below the cut-off threshold, meaning it was not considered consistent with driving while in an altered psychophysical condition.
The finding removes the drug-related element from the assessment of the incident, although the breathalyser result remains part of the case being examined by the authorities.
A difficult off-field week after an important goal
The episode comes shortly after Maldini scored for Cagliari against Udinese in the previous weekend’s Serie A action. The forward, also part of the Italy national-team set-up, has continued to draw attention on the pitch while this off-field matter has developed in parallel.
For Cagliari, the situation now turns on the ordinary legal process following the accident, while the latest medical and investigative result establishes that Maldini’s drug-screening outcome was below the relevant threshold.
