German tennis player Alexander Zverev has been cleared of all charges in a criminal case filed against him. The court has dropped the proceedings against him with the consent of the public prosecutor’s office, joint plaintiff Ms. Brenda Patea, and Zverev’s defense lawyer. This decision was announced today, on June 7, 2024, by Dr. Anna Sophie Heuchemer from Schertz Bergmann Attorneys at law and Katharina Dierlamm from Dierlamm Attorneys at law.
The case, filed under file number 250 Cs 184/23, has been terminated and the penalty order has been deemed groundless. Zverev, through his defense lawyer, has agreed to this discontinuation in order to expedite the proceedings, particularly in the interest of his child. The 27-year-old tennis player maintains his innocence and the dismissal does not constitute a finding of guilt or an admission of guilt. The legal presumption of innocence remains unaffected.
This development brings an end to a legal battle that has been ongoing for several months. Zverev’s lawyers, Dr. Anna Sophie Heuchemer and Katharina Dierlamm, have released a statement on behalf of their client, stating, “Alexander Zverev is relieved that the criminal proceedings against him have been dropped. He is grateful for the support and understanding of his defense team, the public prosecutor’s office, and Ms. Brenda Patea. He is now looking forward to focusing on his career and spending time with his family.”
