It wasn’t dropped - he settled. Which innocent people dont do.

But OP is busy peddling the idea the woman he abused is after money. A new low even for you OP using his twitter fan as a source and a german tabloid.

It was not settled it was dropped. Literally in the post, Patea withdrew her accusation and the prosecutor (without her testimony) asked for the case to be 'discontinued' which Zverev's team agreed to.

The English speaking press has been reporting this poorly acting like what he paid was to settle, but the amount he's had to pay is court costs for taking the case to trial.

It wasn't dropped, they settled it. They both went into this hearing to resolve this case peacefully for the sake of their daughter. They settled it and he has to pay her money.

That is incorrect unless something further has been reported, neither side disclosed the settlement they came to outside of court.

The money mentioned is court fees and part paid to a charity run by the Berlin court.

Hi Andre, we don't know any details of the agreement, though you might find this helpful:https://t.co/7WS28N1RWf

Zverev really just needs to be hit by a flaming asteroid. Or a bus. I'm not fussy. Anything that pulverises him into a fine mist to hurry him on his way to hell.

Here’s what really happened.

The German court had enough evidence to charge him and give him a penalty last year. He!!! appealed this penalty to prove his innocence - only reason it went to trial. Then:
- wants to publicly prove innocence in appeal
-files order to keep testimony on lock behind closed doors
-begs public prosecutors to drop the trial, plaintiff agrees
-settles and pays 6 figures to state and charity

Screams innocent

That's Ben Rothenberg's account which has never been true, the reporting on this case has been so poor that there is a lot of misinformation in the English speaking media.

The court issued a court order of 450,000 euros because they thought there was enough evidence to avoid trial.

Zverev rejected the order, wanting instead to go to trial, in doing so he was considered innocent until the trial. In making this decision, he was liable for the court fees (150,000 which he's been charged)

Zverev filed to keep Patea's testimony closed (not the trial) and Patea's lawyers said they would not reject it

After testifying for a brief period, Patea went home sick and did not return to court but her lawyers withdrew the accusation

The Berlin prosecutors, who were co-defendents in the case, without Patea's accusation of assault, asked Zverev's team to discontinue the case.

Zverev's team claim to have agreed due to the welfare of his child

It’s Jonathan Crane’s. Also the woman was dragged in all german media simply bc she is an influencer and apparently that makes her hungry for attention. I think id feel sick after that too. Wouldnt expect you to understand.

Jonathan Crane is literally who the article I took the information from in the first tweet was written by. Have you - you know - actually read the article?

The case was never an appeal, Jonathan Crane literally tweeted whoever lost this case was eligible to appeal as it is a first instance case.

Anyways instead of using german tabloid as a source who has been trying to paint the woman as a gold digger when she is merely a rebound he used to improve his public image when ANOTHER woman another ex accused him of abuse. When this woman, brenda, got pregnant his whole family accussed her of getting pregnant on purpose for money. Zverev has no contact with his daughter.

Please read this article by an accredited journalist who has been following this trial as a source and not the bs OP who has admitted to finding talented and attractive is trying to peddle.

The first tweet is literally by this journalist? The information in the post is from his article.

I do think Zverev is talented and attractive, but talented and attractive people also abuse women. Acting like he's ugly and talentless just perpetuates the myth that attractive and talented people don't abuse women.

Yeah sure try to spin it like that when in reality youve been trying to spin a narrative about his innocence from the get go

I've not been trying to spin anything, I just think lying about what's happening helps no one. I consider Rothenberg the main culprit because his reporting has been so poor, but echoing falsehoods is not for the sake of Patea or Sharpoya, it's just spreading misinformation.

I think both sets of allegations against Zverev were credible, personally, he is someone who has shown to have a temper. However, I followed the cases so when people lie about what happened, I think it should be corrected.
