He's been charged by prosecutors on the Croatian island of Krk for digging up walls beside property he owns because the area is classed as a UNESCO heritage site due to its Roman ruins.
Croatian authorities ordered construction work to immediately halt and the 30-year-old will have to return home late this year and contest the charges.
The 62-times capped keeper joined Fenerbahce two years ago in a £6 million deal from Dinamo Zagreb and is Mourinho's No.1 at the club.
