Warning for football world champion Boateng in assault proceedings
The warning consists of 40 installments, each of 5000 Euro. The court remained below the demand of the prosecution, which had demanded a fine of 1.12 million Euro. Boateng's defense at most demanded a moderate fine for negligent bodily harm or the dismissal of the case with a fine.
The trial revolved around the accusation of Boateng's attack on his former partner, the mother of his 13-year-old twins, during a Caribbean vacation six years ago. It was the third retrial of the case. The presiding judge spoke of Boateng's toxic relationship with his former partner.
- The Football World Champion, Jerome Boateng, faced charges in the Munich Regional Court due to his alleged body injury procedures towards his former partner.
- The Public Prosecutor's Office had urged a severe penalty for the bodily harm Boateng inflicted, but the court only issued a warning consisting of 40 installments of 5000 Euro.
- Despite Boateng's defense arguing for a moderate fine or even dismissal of the case due to negligence, the court chose to issue the warning instead of imposing a harsher punishment.
- Boateng reserved the right to appeal the court's decision, and his legal team expressed their disappointment with the warning, stating that it did not adequately reflect the circumstances of the case.
