Ex-national player Jérôme Boateng takes action against his conviction for assault.

His new lawyer has appealed, said a spokesman for the Munich district court on Thursday on request.

The public prosecutor's office and the accessory prosecution also filed an appeal, according to the information.

The court had sentenced the 33-year-old Boateng last week to pay a fine of 1.8 million euros for assaulting his former girlfriend.

It imposed a fine of 60 daily rates of 30,000 euros each.

The judge saw it as proven that Boateng had hit his then partner in the face during a Caribbean vacation in 2018.

30,000 euros is the highest possible daily rate, but Boateng does not have a criminal record.

A criminal record is only available from 90 daily rates.

The prosecutor had demanded a suspended sentence of one and a half years in the process - and a monetary requirement of 1.5 million euros.

Boateng's then defender Kai Walden had demanded an acquittal.
