Kevin Prince Boateng stated he’s got nothing to do with his junior brother anymore and that he is against violence against women and respect the German law.
“I’ve already distanced myself from Jérôme for a long time,” the 34-year-old told BILD Sport.
“I appreciate and respect German law. I despise violence against women.
