Borussia Dortmund Defender Nico Schulz Accused Of Kicking His Pregnant Ex-girlfriend, Prosecutors: Attempted Abortion

JAKARTA - Borussia Dortmund defender, Nico Schulz, has to deal with the police. He was accused of violence against his ex-lover.

Schulz is accused of kicking his pregnant ex-girlfriend in the stomach. This report to the police was actually made by his ex-lover in 2020. However, the police are still investigating the report.

German media, Bild, reportedly found a WhatsApp message containing the woman's criticism of Schulz. "You hit me while I was naked in my own apartment," the message reads.

There are also claims that Nico Schulz has "kicked his girlfriend in the stomach, with her shoe on". This is believed by the prosecution as an attempt by the reported party to abort her lover's pregnancy, as reported by The Sun.

Borussia Dortmund has issued a statement. They said the player had already informed the allegations.

The player also confirmed his innocence and will then take legal steps to defend himself.

"Borussia Dortmund took Saturday's media report regarding the criminal allegations - regarding the personal life of Nico Schulz - as an opportunity for immediate dialogue with the player and his advisors," the club said in a statement.

"The player denies the criminal charges against him. Nico Schulz has informed us that he will defend himself against these allegations with the help of a lawyer and that he will also claim the presumption of innocence," the statement continued.

Meanwhile, Schulz did not appear at all for Dortmund during pre-season. He was also left out of Edin Terzic's squad for the Bundesliga clash against Bayer Leverkusen this weekend.

It is believed, this is the aftermath of the case. However, there is no official confirmation from the best club on this matter.
