German court orders new assault trial for footballer Boateng
MUNICH, Germany: A German court on Thursday threw out the assault conviction of footballer Jerome Boateng for attacking his ex-girlfriend in 2018 and ordered a new trial. In a legal odyssey now on its third ruling, the superior regional court in Munich decided in favor of Boateng’s appeal, that of his alleged victim as well as state prosecutors’, citing procedural errors. “The responsible tribunal will begin again with the taking of evidence,” the court said in a statement.

The incident happened in the weeks after the World Cup in Russia, when Boateng was in the Germany squad which was knocked out in the group stage. Boateng’s former partner described how he “pressed against my eye with his thumb, bit me in the head and pulled me to the floor by my hair.” She said the now 35-year-old repeatedly insulted her and hit her on the back with “one strong punch and several light punches.” In the latest appeals, the Munich court agreed with
