💨 Abstract

The German soccer federation (DFB) was fined €110,000 for tax evasion related to the 2006 World Cup. Prosecutors accused the DFB of concealing a €6.7 million payment to FIFA as a business expense. This payment repaid a loan from a former Adidas executive, involving complex channels through Switzerland and Qatar. Former DFB officials Theo Zwanziger, Wolfgang Niersbach, and Horst R.
