The legal team responsible for Boateng's case chose to abandon their pursuit of charges.
Boateng was instructed to shell out a fine: He needs to donate a grand total of 100,000 euros to charitable organizations. If he disobeys this decree, he'll be slapped with a daily fine of 40 times 5,000 euros, totaling 200,000 euros. Initially, the prosecution challenged the verdict at the Bavarian Supreme Court in Munich, but they withdrew their appeal on Monday after a comprehensive assessment.
Although the prosecution still has their doubts about the verdict's legitimacy, they pointed out a legal blunder in the court's argument that upholding the legal order doesn't necessitate a conviction. This is quite distinct in cases of domestic violence, the prosecution highlighted.
Considering the woman and her children's well-being, a protracted legal proceedings would be utterly unbearable. The prosecution urged all victims of domestic violence to "reach out to the investigative authorities with confidence".
As a footballer, Boateng achieved monumental victories during his tenure at Bayern Munich from 2011 to 2021. Post Bayern, his stints with Olympique Lyon in France and the previous season with the relegated US Salernitana in Italy were less than satisfactory. Since the current season, he's represented Linzer ASK in Austria.
The initial appeal against Boateng's fine was made at the Bavarian Supreme Court, specifically the Court of First Instance's verdict was challenged there. If Boateng fails to comply with the court orders, he may face financial penalties at the Court of First Instance due to non-compliance.
