Physical Harm - Tennis player Alexander Zverev's court case comes to a halt.
The court case against German tennis star Alexander Zverev for the accusation of inflicting physical harm concluded on its third day without a verdict. The Berlin District Court-Tiergarten dismissed the proceedings on Friday with a fine. Zverev now has to pay a total sum of 200,000 euros. No verdict of guilt was reached. By accepting the payment of a fine, there is no admission of guilt. Hence, Zverev remains innocent.
In the indictment, Zverev was accused of pushing his former partner Brenda Patea against a wall and violently shaking her using both his hands during a heated dispute in May 2020.
The public prosecutor, Zverev's defense, and Patea as a co-defendant mutually agreed on this approach to end the legal battle. Both parties desired a peaceful resolution, as the court remarked.
