Jérôme Boateng Assault Investigation Closed Due to Lack of Evidence

The Munich Public Prosecutor's Office cited insufficient evidence, including the absence of a key witness, in closing the case involving allegations against the footballer.

The Munich Public Prosecutor's Office officially ended its investigation into Jérôme Boateng regarding allegations of assault against his late ex-girlfriend, Kasia Lenhardt.
The decision was based on the principle of 'in dubio pro reo,' as evidence was deemed inconclusive to support the allegations.
The case faced challenges due to the lack of a living witness and the disappearance of a potential witness who initially agreed to testify but later could not be located.
The investigation had been reopened in 2021 after Lenhardt's death, following indications of possible injuries shortly before her passing.
Boateng's legal history includes a prior conviction for intentional bodily harm in a separate case involving another ex-partner.
