Now he has to keep his word …
Ex-Liverpool star Daniel Sturridge has to pay $ 30,000. That was decided by a court in the USA.
What happened? In 2019, his dog Lucci was stolen from a break-in in Los Angeles. Sturridge subsequently launched a major appeal via social media.
In an emotional video, he said that he would “pay whatever” to get his dog back. He then put a finder’s fee (20,000 to 30,000 US dollars) on his lost four-legged friend.
When the US rapper Killa Fame found the dog on a street and gave it back to Sturridge, Sturridge didn’t want to pay anymore.
According to the former England international, the rapper was not the finder, but his nephew. The musician had also tweeted that in 2019.
The American no longer saw it that way and therefore filed a breach of contract lawsuit against the footballer.
The court of the Los Angeles County Superior Court has now found him right and sentenced the former England international to compensation in the amount of 30,000 US dollars.
Sturridge angry on Twitter: “I met a little boy and gave him a reward that he was very happy to receive. I took pictures with him and we have videos and sound recordings of everything that happened when Lucci was brought back. “
He went on to write: “To have to relive the events of a robbery on Christmas Day is shameful. Other people try to enrich themselves. Thanks again to the young man. That was 2 1/2 years ago and it was a crazy 24 hours. “
It is questionable whether the Englishman will file a lawsuit against the judgment.
