Brazilian footballer Malcolm has officially signed a contract with the Saudi club Al-Hilal, where he will receive a multimillion-dollar salary. However, in Russia, where the player lived for four years, he managed to get into trouble with the law due to debts.
The departure of the former Zenit winger abroad became known on the evening of July 26. According to available information, Malcolm’s transfer to Saudi Arabia cost Al-Hilal 60 million euros — this is the most expensive deal in the history of the Russian Premier League. The footballer’s annual income, according to rumors, will now be 18 million euros.
Malcolm also received a considerable salary in the “blue-white-blue” camp, which, however, did not prevent him from attracting the attention of the Federal Bailiff Service. The reason for this is several dozen unpaid fines for traffic violations, writes the Regnum agency.
According to a media source, the midfielder, driving his Lamborghini Urus, collected about 260 fines. They mainly concerned speeding. “The Brazilian now has a debt of 64 thousand rubles, which he still has not paid. Basically, these are repeated speeding and penalties for unpaid fines in the past.”,” said the agency’s interlocutor.
But this is not the only problem. After the scandal with fines in 2023, Malcolm for some reason changed the registration plates of his car. The source emphasizes that the filing of the application to change the numbers occurred literally the next day after numerous violations became known to the media.
It is noted that Malcom began violating traffic rules again 4 days after changing his license plates. In July, he received notifications about debts almost every day, which he simply ignored.
Now the documents on the football player’s debts have been sent to the FSSP.
