Under the title “The destroyed Sommermärchen” writes the “Mirror”: The 2006 World Cup to have been bought by the DFB. The threatened with massive legal action, but contributes nothing so far to draw attention to. Meanwhile, the supposedly strongest evidence of the “mirror” could wiggle.
Since Friday a serious accusation is in space, where the “mirror”: The 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany was bought supposedly – with money from a “slush fund”. German football grandees like Franz Beckenbauer and Wolfgang Niersbach DFB would have known it. Later, the bribe had been covered up with the help of the football world governing body FIFA.
The authors cite a quite understandable chain of evidence. Concrete evidence of its allegations against Niersbach and the then head of the World Cup organizing committee, Franz Beckenbauer, they hardly deliver. The facts is narrow, much a matter of interpretation, what the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” as summarizing: “allegation is against assertion Much appears, still, mysterious..”
In an interview with “Sky90″ conceded “mirror” -author Jens Weinreich on a Sunday evening to have the supposedly strongest evidence for the allegations, a handwritten note from Wolfgang Niersbach, not tested. “We have not let check, no,” Weinreich said.
Whether he so really from Niersbach, currently does not unequivocally proven. Niersbach itself had declared on the DFB website: “. I can not remember it completely” He asked the “mirror” to transfer the paper “in order to understand, what it is and whether it is ever my handwriting.” Jörg Schmitt as Weinreich an author of the “Mirror” story, called it in Germany radio (the DLF interview to simultaneously hear) “a sleight of hand” that these trials because: “We will clarify the doubts with Mr Niersbach like in court . “
undisputed cash flow
The news magazine had claims to reveal the existence of a secret document in which the repayment of 6.7 million euros will be established by the World Cup organizing committee. It should be noted handwritten: “The agreed fee for RLD”. RLD is projected to search the “mirror” presumably standing for Robert Louis-Dreyfus, and the handwriting of Niersbach originate. The former Adidas CEO Louis-Dreyfus said to have borrowed the German candidates the bribe as a personal loan, but have later reclaimed. Use the Fifa was Louis-Dreyfus the money, 6.7 million euros, paid back
“Sky90″ argued Weinreich, the submission of discovered in researching bank account numbers was “a new quality of revelations”. According to Schmitt, the cash flow of 6.7 million euros from the DFB over a Fifa account in Geneva to a numbered account “a fact”. In Germany radio, he added: “This has been our high Fifa officials confirmed.” Man was himself “pretty sure this number account Louis-Dreyfus has heard”. A corresponding request to the widow of the former Adidas-Bosses had but remained unanswered.
“Talking about a suspected”
At the same time criticized Schmitt publicity of the DFB. Although he stressed: “We talk and write about a suspected – not a proof.” Among the “really interesting questions,” there are loud Schmitt from the DFB but “still no answers.” It is beyond dispute that Louis-Dreyfus was the DFB once remitted converted 6.7 million euros prior to the award of the 2006 World Cup in the year 2000th The Dreyfus payment was however not included in any balance of the then candidate committee, later organizing committee or the DFB. “If the money was in fact legal,” Schmitt said, “why it appeared then in any official budget?” Only when the transfer to the FIFA in April 2005, this sum appears in the Fifa budgets. The DFB had in this regard acknowledged inconsistencies on Friday that were not noticed previously the association ten years.
Read more aboutHow could this happen, and why the money is nowhere recorded Dreyfus: for this and other key questions surrounding the payment, the DFB did not rule as before. If DFB president Niersbach, who is informed by his own admission since the summer about the inconsistencies, the not fast nachhole and concern for enlightenment, then “it will be hard for him.” On the question of whether the “mirror” nor information could refuel and for now his powder had missed, Schmitt said, “Schau’n mer times, such as the team manager would say.”
DFB wants accusations refute
The DFB has meanwhile turned the Berlin media Rechter Christian Schertz. He shall, in consultation with its clients also take legal action against the “mirror,” he said “Sky90″: “I’m going to, in this situation, which is actually for me unusual and clearly advise the President and the DFB, of course, a counter-notification demand and in particular the statement with full force to oppose, the World Cup had been bought from a slush fund of the DFB. We will ask for injunctive relief, we will demand of reply, and should the German Football Association suffer as a result of this reporting, will we do the Spiegel publishing it also liable. “
DFB president Niersbach announced in its recent opinion, the DFB will against the” “not only press legal action, but they also” allegations of the mirror refute ” , The allegations should be as soon as possible from the world, Niersbach said this morning during the presentation of the German Football Museum in Dortmund. A time frame could not call Niersbach. Questions not let the DFB president following his statement on.
