Seoul: Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-min's father and brother have been fined in a child abuse case, South Korean prosecutors told AFP on Friday.
Son Woong-jung is a public figure in South Korea and authored a best-selling memoir detailing how he helped his son become one of the best strikers in the English Premier League.
He runs a football academy where his elder son Son Heung-yun coached.
The pair and another coach at the academy were accused in April of physically and verbally abusing a 12-year-old student.
Prosecutors said on Friday that they have fined Son Woong-jung, Son Heung-yun and a coach based on the Child Welfare Act and Child Abuse Punishment Act, without specifying how much the fine was.
