Jerome Boateng convicted of injuries to his former partner, will have to pay a fine of 1.8 million

The former Bayern and German national team defender pays dearly for the attack on the woman during a Caribbean holiday in 2018. The only positive note for him is that he has avoided a year and a half in prison

The attack with injuries to the former partner cost Jerome Boateng dearly. The Munich court, in fact, sentenced the former Bayern defender (now at Lyon), world champion in 2014, to a fine of 1.8 million euros, to be paid within 2 months ( 30 thousand euros per day): this is the maximum penalty in economic terms, according to the Bild. Instead, the prosecutor had asked for a sentence of one and a half years in prison and the payment of a 1.5 million fine.

He beat her partner up by biting her on the head

Boateng was convicted of having, during a vacation in the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean in July 2018, attacked her former partner, beating, punching and biting her on the head; he would also throw her on the floor and insult her.

The woman said that on the night of the attack Boateng “pressed his thumb against my eye, she bit me on the head and pulled me to the ground by the hair.” She also reported that Boateng, who is 1.90m tall, had repeatedly insulted her and hit her in the back with “one strong punch and several light punches. That was when I lost my breath for a moment.”

The former national team footballer was convicted of injuries and offenses. Boateng has denied all accusations and claims he never beat the woman, declared by the prosecutor, a “victim of domestic violence”. However, Boateng was also deemed “a victim of their common toxic relationship”.
