Gigi Becali: “That's it, we're hiring a driver!”
Judicial sources later informed that the driver in question is Gigi Becali.
In a statement for GSP.ro, Gigi Becali said that he will contest the sanction, stating that the police “only lie in wait there”.
“And what if? It's true that they took my license. I'm just waiting there, at 4 in the morning. There are four lanes, how do I go? I don't think it's right like that, at 40 km/h… Let's change it! There was no one on the road, there was a danger of taking my license. When I stopped, I thought I wasn't speeding, but that's not the case. I'm going to challenge it in court. They do it on purpose so that lie in wait. That's it, we're hiring a driver!”, Becali told GSP.ro.
Becali is not the first traffic violation, he was also caught in May of last year exceeding the legal limit by 65 kilometers/hour. And then the police fined him and suspended his license for 90 days. The financier FCSB contested the fine in court, but lost, the verdict being given at the beginning of March 2026.
