A year ago, Jérôme Boateng accused his ex-girlfriend Kasia Lenhardt of alcoholism and blackmail in an interview. Shortly thereafter she took her own life. Now her mother is fighting in court to have the article deleted from the internet.

The aisles of the Berlin district court are largely empty on Tuesday afternoon, only a handful of journalists in front of room 100 indicate that a prominent case will be heard here in the afternoon. It’s about Jérôme Boateng, you could say: again. A good six months ago, a trial against him filled the largest hall of the Munich Higher Regional Court, and journalists had to queue for 24 hours to get a seat. At that time, the former national soccer player was sentenced to a fine of 1.8 million euros for assaulting his ex-girlfriend Sherin S., after which he appealed. The current case has to do with an ex-girlfriend again, with Kasia Lenhardt. But Kasia Lenhardt is dead.
