Tennis star Alexander Zverev will reportedly stand trial in May on allegations of physical abuse from his ex-girlfriend.
German broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) has reported that a spokesperson for the Berlin criminal court has detailed that a hearing will commence from May 2024.
If German law is similar to American law, one "goes to trial" only after a criminal indictment.
And the charges are brought forth by the government, NOT by a disgruntled ex-girlfriend.
So we do not know what all this "going to trial" is all about. A hearing is not a trial.
