Accusations get worse and worse:

“Danger of suicide?” Boateng trial threatened with abandonment!

"Is your client suicidal?", the judge asked Sherin S.'s lawyer. After that, it seemed for a while that the sentence in the Munich district court could quickly put an end to the long court case surrounding Jérôme Boateng. But then everything turned out differently - in other words: new allegations of violence against the LASK star!  

There was almost a dramatic turnaround in the trial involving LASK star Jérôme Boateng! "I'm worried, I can see her mood," replied Carolin Lütcke, the lawyer for Sherin S., who is the mother of Boateng's twins and is appearing as a co-plaintiff in this trial for intentional grievous bodily harm. Judge Susanne Hemmerich had previously asked Lütcke in her direction whether her client was suicidal? To which the lawyer replied, among other things, with the sentence: "We can end the trial today!"

Judge suggested an end
Hemmerich had always wanted a quick end to the years-long legal dispute. On the first day of the trial, the judge had already suggested ending the proceedings - primarily in the interests of the couple's children (13) - with a warning if Boateng confessed. The proceedings were taking too long for her. The fact is: at 10.35 a.m., the court withdrew with both parties and the public prosecutor for deliberations and the public was excluded from the proceedings.  

Mother and sister also beaten?

However, the deal the judge was looking for did not materialize this time either. The trial resumed at 11.43 am. With the request of lawyer Lütcke to also summon Martina Boateng, the mother of the LASK star, as a witness. Reason: The now 35-year-old allegedly also hit his younger sister Avelina and his mother as a child . . . 

Chips on the hand!

During her new interrogation, Sherin S. then made new accusations against the controversial LASK star, for whom the presumption of innocence naturally applies in all points, especially as his lawyers vehemently claim to be able to refute all accusations with evidence. Boateng's ex-partner nevertheless explained that two years before the beating attack during a Caribbean vacation in 2018, which led to the trial, there was also an assault during a car ride in which she suffered a bone splinter on her hand. Sherin S. had already stated in court two weeks ago: "Violence was always an issue!" 

LASK gets into trouble

Statements that are unproven. However, they are also putting LASK more and more in trouble. After all, Boateng is supposed to wear the jersey with well-known sponsors. Which can be less and less positive for their image, despite the presumption of innocence. Boateng himself is aware of this. The 35-year-old has already admitted that he has lost all of his private sponsors . . .

Overall picture fatal despite denials

All the more reason for him to fight in court. This Friday, for example, he admitted that he did not have a good relationship with his mother early on, but denied any violence towards her. Once again, it was testimony against testimony. And yet the trial once again revealed a devastating overall picture.
