Kevin-Prince Boateng has on BILD let it be known that he no longer wants to have anything to do with his half-brother Jérôme, who was fined €1.8 million this week for assaulting and insulting his ex-girlfriend Sherin Senler in 2018. distanced from Jérôme,” said the 34-year-old Hertha BSC attacker.

Boateng, who has been employed by Olympique Lyon since this summer, appeared in court in Munich last Thursday. He was sentenced to a maximum of five years in prison, but was eventually sentenced to a very hefty fine. “I appreciate and respect German law. I hate violence against women. I don’t identify with my brother’s actions and therefore I don’t want anything to do with him anymore.”

Boateng and Senler have had a turbulent relationship. The couple got together in 2007 and had twins at a young age, but separated in 2011. A long legal battle over the custody of the children ensued and Boateng and his ex-girlfriend only communicated through lawyers. At the end of 2013, the two suddenly got back together and the relationship was given another chance. After the alleged incident in 2018, that finally came to an end.

Privately, Boateng is going through a difficult time anyway. In February, his ex-girlfriend Kasia Lenhardt was found dead in her Berlin home, six days after Boateng ended relationship with her. Just before that, the woman had caused a car accident with alcohol in her blood. Boateng then wrote that he had ended the relationship, partly because of the alcohol problem that Lenhardt had in his eyes.
