## Bakery Jatta Cleared of Identity Fraud Allegations
Hamburg SV footballer Bakery Jatta has been cleared of charges related to alleged identity fraud. The Hamburg district court has dismissed the case against the 23-year-old Gambian player, citing insufficient evidence to proceed wiht the main proceedings. [[1]]
The case stemmed from accusations made in December 2021, alleging that Jatta had been playing under a false identity. Prosecutors claimed his real name was Bakary Daffeh and that he was two and a half years older than officially recorded. Jatta vehemently denied these allegations throughout the legal process.
Jatta’s legal team, led by lawyer Thomas Bliwier, successfully argued against the opening of the main proceedings. Bliwier stated that the prosecution failed to demonstrate any evidence of deception on Jatta’s part. [[1]]
The court’s decision, as reported by the Hamburger Abendblatt, concluded that further investigations were unnecessary. Based on the evidence gathered, the court determined with a high degree of certainty that Jatta’s true name is Bakery Jatta and that his birthdate is June 6th, 1998. This ruling effectively clears Jatta’s name and allows him to focus on his football career without the shadow of these allegations hanging over him.
