John Painstil Responds To Derek Boateng’s Claim

Former Black Stars teammates, Derek Boateng and alleged wife beater John Painstil are in a legal row over a borrowed sum of $20,000.

Boateng filed suit in Accra. In the suit, he alleged that he lent his colleague the sum during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. However, he pissed away the money gambling and Painstil has refused to pay back.

Boateng wants his money back, plus interest, and the cost of legal fees borne by Painstil, in the suit he filed.

The former right back responded to the suit. He says he doesn’t owe Boateng any money and he’s ready to prove it in court.
