Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy will stand trial after one of his dogs allegedly attacked a teenager and two other dogs after escaping from his property, according to Spanish reports on Tuesday.
The private prosecutor is seeking a six-month prison sentence for causing injury through gross negligence, as well as fines, a Madrid court said in a document dated January 7 and seen by AFP.
The Public Prosecution Service demands fines for a minor offense: causing injury.
Spanish media said the events took place in January 2023, after four of Mendy’s dogs escaped from his property in Madrid’s affluent Alcobendas suburb when the gate was left open after a vehicle entered.
According to reports, one of the dogs bit another woman’s dog, which was injured and later had to be euthanized, before a 17-year-old boy tried to intervene and was bitten himself, along with a relative’s dog he was walking.
Left back Mendy, 31, signed for Real Madrid from French side Lyon in 2019 but several injuries have disrupted his career.
