A German court on Wednesday upheld Jerome Boateng’s assault conviction for attacking his ex-girlfriend in 2018, and ordered the footballer to pay a fine of 1.2 million euros, IgbereTV reports
He was found guilty last year of assaulting and insulting his former partner, the mother of his twin daughters, during a Caribbean holiday four years ago.
Boateng had always denied the allegations and sought an acquittal on appeal.
The district court in Munich confirmed he was guilty, but reduced the original fine — calculated according to the accused’s net income — from 1.8 million euros to 1.2 million euros.
Judges “dismissed the defendant’s appeal as unfounded,” the court said in a statement
