Sport Bild said Brazil-born Pletsch, who adopted German citizenship, continues to protest his innocence and is considering a further appeal, but one of his lawyers said in the German publication: "It's highly unlikely that the verdict would change ."
Pagājušā gada novembrī Pleča automašīnā tika atrasti 793 kilogrami marihuānas, kas bija sapresēti 854 stieņos. Lai gan patlaban 40 gadus vecais Plečs savu vainu neatzīst un plāno iesniegt apelāciju, tomēr bijušā futbolista advokāti atzinuši, ka, visticamāk, lēmums netiks mainīts.
