Proven Guilty Of Violence Against Ex-Girlfriend, Jerome Boateng Fined Rp25.67 Billion

JAKARTA - Jerome Boateng, who earlier this month joined Olympique Lyon, was found guilty of committing violence that injured his ex-girlfriend's body.

For the verdict, Boateng was sentenced to pay a fine of 1.8 million euros (approximately IDR 25.67 billion), according to a Reuters report reported by Antara on Friday morning.

The former Germany defender, who won the 2014 World Cup, wore a dark blue suit while attending a trial for violence against his ex-girlfriend during a holiday dispute in 2018.

His girlfriend, who is also the mother of Boateng's twin daughters, accused the former Bayern Munich player of throwing a lamp at her and then also throwing a small cooler that injured her arm before hitting and pulling her hair.

Boateng denied all the accusations.

The 33-year-old defender has spent the last 10 years at Bayern after joining from Manchester City in 2011.

With Bayern he won nine German League titles and two Champions League trophies.

Last week Boateng officially moved to France and signed a two-year contract at Lyon.
