He made his debut for the Luxembourg national team on 10 October 1998 in a European Championship qualifying game against Poland. His second and final cap came in March 1999 against Iceland.[3]
In February 2011, he was sentenced to five years' imprisonment for rape.[4] This sentence was later reduced to three years' imprisonment plus two years suspended. In January 2012, he appealed against his sentence, arguing that several procedural errors had been made.[5] In October 2012, his appeal was rejected.[6]
