Jerome Boateng Found Guilty of Assault in Germany

Former German footballer Jérôme Boateng received a suspended fine of $218k and a warning after being found guilty of premeditated bodily harm against his ex-partner, with the option to pay $5.4k daily for 40 days. He was also ordered to donate $109k to charity. Boateng denied the accusations made by the mother of his twin daughters, involving throwing objects and physical assault. The court's ruling differed from the initial €1.12 million fine demand by prosecutors, now giving Boateng a week to appeal. Boateng expressed relief after the trial, aiming to focus on his family and football.
