Jérôme Boateng Investigation Closed Due to Insufficient Evidence

The Munich Public Prosecutor's Office concluded the case citing the principle 'in dubio pro reo' and the lack of key witnesses, including Kasia Lenhardt.

The investigation into Jérôme Boateng, involving allegations of bodily harm, coercion, and defamation against his late ex-girlfriend Kasia Lenhardt, has been officially closed as of March 26, 2025.
Prosecutors cited insufficient evidence, including inconclusive injury documentation and the unavailability of Lenhardt as a witness, as reasons for the case's closure.
A potential witness who came forward in early 2025 failed to appear for questioning and is now unreachable, further hindering the investigation.
The legal principle 'in dubio pro reo' (in doubt for the accused) was applied, as the evidence did not meet the threshold for prosecution.
Boateng, who has faced prior legal issues including a conviction for bodily harm in a separate case, expressed relief at the decision, stating it confirmed his innocence.
