Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez fined £3,020 and banned from driving

It was not proven that Fernandez was the driver of the vehicle on either occasion.

Both police forces wrote to the 23-year-old Argentinian, as the vehicle’s registered owner, but he did not respond to requests for information.

Fernandez did not appear before Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday for sentencing, having been found guilty in his absence at two hearings earlier this year.

Court papers gave two addresses for Fernandez, one at the Chelsea training ground in Surrey and another in Kingston-upon-Thames. 

Wyn Evans, the chair of the magistrates, said: “We are dealing with two matters of failing to give the driver’s identity which has been proved in Enzo Fernandez’s absence.”

In total, he was charged £1,000 and £110 in police costs for the offence in Llanelli and a further £1,000 charge, £800 victim surcharge and £110 in police costs for the offence in Swansea.

He was also given six penalty points for each offence – 12 points in total.

Fernandez already had nine penalty points on his license for speeding, leading to an automatic ban for six months starting from Wednesday.
