A superstar who received the highest transfer fee in the English Premier League (EPL) was caught by the police on absurd charges. Chelsea ace Moises Caicedo was found to have driven without a license and a luxury SUV worth hundreds of millions of won was confiscated by police.
British media The Sun reported on the 10th (Korea time) 'England's most expensive Caicedo was caught by police on charges of driving without a license near the training ground' According to the report, Caicedo was inspected by police on the 4th in Fair Mile Lane near the Chelsea training ground in Cobham, Surrey. At the time, Caicedo was moving home from training. His car was the RSQ8, Audi's luxury SUV. It costs 160,000 pounds (about 300 million won).
A local police inspection revealed shocking results. Caicedo did not have a valid license. In other words, he drove on a 'unlicensed basis. The police immediately confiscated the vehicle and charged it with driving without a license. Local police are conducting further investigations. It is also investigating whether it has insurance. In the absence of a license, it is difficult to subscribe to insurance normally. First of all, the unlicensed charge is almost definitive, and illegal activities can also occur in whether or not to subscribe to insurance.
Caicedo's unlicensed driving seems to have been going on for quite some time. Under British law, foreigners can use their international driver's license for 12 months after entering the UK. However, after 12 months, it has to be switched to a UK licence. After applying for a temporary license, a British license will be issued only after a practical driving test.

However, Caicedo, a former ace of Ecuador's national team, has never received a British license. He started his EPL career by joining Brighton & Hove Albion for a transfer fee of 4.5 million pounds (about 8.3 billion won) in 2021. He then moved to Chelsea in 2023 with the highest EPL transfer fee of 115 million pounds (about 216.3 billion won).
In other words, he has been living in the UK for four years since 2021. Naturally, I drove around during this period. Assuming that Caicedo brought an international license when he first came to England in 2021, it can be assumed that he has engaged in illegal activities of 'unlicensed driving' for at least three years since 2022. Police are conducting further investigations into this area.
Chelsea's team and Caicedo's agent did not make an official statement. Chelsea drew the line saying it was a `personal matter.' Chelsea can only be cautious. The league schedule is not over, and he is currently in Poland to play the first leg of the UEFA Conference League quarterfinals. Caicedo also went to Poland with the squad.
Chelsea will play the first leg of the quarterfinals of the conference league against Legia Warsaw at 1:45 a.m. on the 11th in Warsaw, Poland. Caicedo's detection of illegal activities has disrupted the atmosphere of the team.
