Rising star Enzo Fernandez has recently come back into the spotlight for an incident last year where he ran a red light in his car. According to reports, on November 28th of last year, Enzo was accused of running a red light in his Porsche Cayenne with no insurance on the vehicle. A hearing was held at Llanelli Magistrates' Court on Wednesday this week, UK local time, however Enzo was unable to attend and was therefore found guilty in absentia.
It is reported that on September 11, the Llanelli District Court will announce the final punishment. The judge will consider whether there are mitigating circumstances, "including exceptional hardship", which could result in Enzo receiving a lighter penalty.
In addition to the red-light running incident, Enzo was also the subject of legal action by the French Football Association for singing an allegedly racist song live on air after Argentina's Copa America win. The French Football Federation also filed a complaint with FIFA against the Argentine national team for alleged racist behavior. According to an analysis by TYC Sports, Enzo's actions will face at least a minimum fine of 10,000 Swiss francs under FIFA's current code of ethics, with the most severe penalty likely to be

Two years.
In addition, Enzo's behavior has sparked controversy within Chelsea. There are reports that Enzo's behavior has seriously hurt the French players in the Blues' squad and has led to damaged unity in the locker room. Enzo is currently on vacation and is expected to travel to the United States to join the team for the preseason after his vacation.
