The German Football Association (DFB) finally got slapped with a tax evasion conviction over shady payments to FIFA related to the World Cup hosting rights! Frankfurt’s regional court fined DFB a whopping €6.7 million for failing to report taxes on a suspicious €2.7 million payment. Of course, it was all just a “loan repayment” and a “sponsorship contribution,” but the investigation never uncovered the real purpose of the money. Former officials deny wrongdoing but paid fines to dodge criminal charges. Is this just the tip of the football corruption iceberg, or will someone finally put an end to these games? Sound off – is justice served or just another public farce?
