German international winger Nico Schulz (12 caps) is under investigation for domestic violence after a complaint was filed by an ex-girlfriend, for the 29-year-old who was denied, the defender’s club Borussia announced. Dortmund on Sunday.
According to information from Bild, confirmed by Dortmund prosecutor Sonja Frodermann, to the German sports news agency SID, a subsidiary of AFP, an ex-girlfriend of Nico Schulz filed a complaint against him for violence at home.
“Due to a complaint from a former girlfriend, a judicial investigation was opened, there was a search and data was taken,” explained the prosecutor.
Borussia Dortmund spoke “immediately with the player and his advisor.” “The player denies the charges against him,” explained the club. Nico Schulz, who benefits from the presumption of innocence, intends to defend himself “with the help of a lawyer”, added last season’s German runner-up.
“The charges, which were not known to Borussia Dortmund until the publication of the press articles, are particularly serious and shocking for BVB,” the club explained.
Borussia Dortmund, however, decided not to take ‘disciplinary or labor measures’ against the player, because ‘the investigation is in its early stages’ and the facts in their position are ‘extremely confusing’. The right is reserved to implement these measures at any time.
Nico Schulz, a Dortmund defender since 2019, made 12 appearances for the German national team between autumn 2018 and autumn 2020, but has not played for it since November 11, 2020.
