The gem of the last Eurobasket fined for speeding

Miikka Muurinen, one of the great young promises of European basketball, has been penalized in Helsinki after being caught driving at 76 km/h in a zone limited to 40 km/h and without a valid driver's license. The incident took place on May 11th in Makelankatu, according to the Finnish Prosecutor's Office through Helsingin Sanomat.

The 19-year-old player received 28 daily fines for endangering road safety and driving without a valid license. Each fine amounted to 29 euros, for a total of 812 euros, in addition to a surcharge of 60 euros for the victim. In total, he will have to pay 872 euros. Muurinen was traveling with others and showed the police a U.S. driver's license that had expired in September 2025, so the authorities determined he was not entitled to drive in Finland. He was not imposed with a driving ban as he did not possess a valid license in the country.
