German prosecutors are investigating footballer Jerome Boateng for allegedly tearing the ear of his girlfriend Kasia Lenhardt a year before her death.
The case against Boateng, which was first opened in 2019 before being shelved last year, has now been re-opened by prosecutors after new information emerged from the Berlin police inquiries that followed Lenhardt s suicide.
Boateng is accused of intentionally injuring Lenhardt, a former Germany s Next Top Model contestant, in October 2019 - a little over a year before the brutal public break-up that ended in her death in a Berlin apartment earlier this month.
The Bayern Munich player, 32, is also accused of assault in a separate case involving his ex-partner Sherin Senler, which is on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic.
