I know it\u2019s not okay and I will not do it again. I know it\u2019s serious,\u201d Sarfo admitted in trial proceedings. \u201cI cannot say why I did, but I made a mistake. I learn from my mistakes,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>However Malmo have jumped to the defence of their star midfielder with club Chairman H\u00e5kan Jeppsson revealing the Ghanaian thought his international driver\u2019s licence could him to drive in Sweden and he says his club have no intentions of punishing Sarfo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have of course taken this internally. Kingsley referred to an international driving license that he believed was eligible in Sweden. He has made a decision and promised that it will not happen again,\u201d says Jeppsson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have acted on the information that he believed was a mistake. Had it been conscious we would have acted differently. Now he has got a good stretch and promised that it will not happen again and then we have considered it taken out of the club\u2019s side.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If he goes to jail he\u2019ll become the second Ghanaian player to go to jail in Sweden in recent times after former Heart of Lions midfielder Kwame Bonsu, who played for Gefle IF, was sentenced to 2 years for sexual abuse against his ex-wife.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related_articles\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div style=\"clear: both; font-size: 90%; background-color: #eeeaea; padding: 5px; width: 60%; margin-top: 10px;\">\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/96124592.jpg\" style=\"padding-right:2px;\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0;width:100%; vertical-align:middle; font-size:11px;\">Courtesy of <b>GHANAsoccernet.com<\/b> &#8211; Ghana&#8217;s leading football news website.
