A Juventus star was caught overtaking on a zebra crossing in front of a marked police car – but escaped without a fine.
Polish international Arkadiusz Milik, 32, was reportedly waved on after a brief chat.
Dashcam footage showed the striker’s black Mercedes G-Class cutting a double solid line and sweeping past vehicles on the crossing.

Officers hit the lights, pulled him over and spoke to him for about half a minute.
They issued a verbal warning under Article 41 and let him go with neither a ticket nor penalty points, according to reports.
The incident happened in central Warsaw, Poland, at around noon last Friday (25 Sep).
Overtaking on a zebra crossing carries a fine of around £290 (PLN 1,500) and 15 points.
Crossing a double white line adds £40 (PLN 200) and five points.
A few junctions later, the same Mercedes is reported to have run a red light, worth another £100 (PLN 500) and 15 points.
Had every alleged breach been sanctioned on the spot, he would have blown the 24-point limit in minutes.
Police spokesperson Jakub Pacyniak said officers “do not always have to punish” and that a warning “does not close the path to punishing the perpetrator”.
After the video broke, the district commander ordered further action and said the file would go to court.
Police confirmed they had secured the recording.
Command has indicated the patrol will not be disciplined because the original warning was lawful.
A judge will now decide the penalty.
Milik’s time at Juventus has been defined by the treatment table.
A calf injury suffered against Ukraine kept him out for 21 months.
He managed only a handful of appearances last season before suffering another thigh problem, and he has still not featured in a competitive match for Juve this campaign.
The club has rarely used him and a summer contract trim was openly discussed, as reported by Need To Know.
Once a regular for Poland, with more than 70 caps, he is now on the outer fringes of the national squad as well.
Milik, who has 1.2 million Instagram followers, has also played for Napoli, Bayer Leverkusen, Marseille and Ajax.
