German and Bayern Muchen star Jerome Boateng is being investigated for the harm he caused his girlfriend who is now deceased.

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, Mail Online reports.

The Germany International is accused of intentionally injuring Lenhardt, a former Germany’s Next Top Model contestant, in October 2019, before their public breakup ended in her death in a Berlin apartment earlier this month.  

The incident have taken place on October 3, 2019, prompting authorities to open an investigation in December that year. But the probe against Boateng was shelved six months later in June 2020, after Lenhardt had indicated she did not want to proceed with her claims. 

But the case was re-opened on February 10 this year, just a day after Lenhardt was found dead in Berlin, said Anne Leiding, a spokeswoman for Munich prosecutors. 

This was because ‘we received new information in the context of the investigation into her death, which could lead to a resumption of the case,’ she told MailOnline.

While Prosecutors have not yet revealed details about the alleged injury, Bild reports that Boateng is suspected of tearing his then-girlfriend’s earlobe. 

Boateng is also accused of assault in a separate case involving his ex-partner Sherin Senler, which is on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic. 

The case involving Senler was filed with a Munich court in 2019 but prosecutors couldn’t proceed with the case because of the virus situation.
