Franz Beckenbauer, Wolfgang Niersbach and Theo Zwanziger will be reviewed as part of the FIFA World Cup 2006 scandal over the on their possible involvement towards. In addition to the DFB internal audit by the law firm Freshfields probably want to record investigation, the Ethics Committee of FIFA.
This is certainly wise information of the news magazine “Spiegel” from the previous week and the “Bild” newspaper From Wednesday through clearly. Thus, the end of February to the ethics committee be active after the end of Freshfields investigation and the publication of the final report expected
Theo Zwanziger:. “The purpose is to at last do!”
Zwanziger (70) is looking forward to possible investigation with his usual composure and aggressiveness. “If they want to identify, then let them it but finally do”, on Wednesday, the former president of the German Football Association (DFB) the SID said: “I do not sit apart with such notice slogans is what concerns me. anyway nothing come of it. “
In case Zwanziger and Beckenbauer would lead the World Association a blunt sword. One whatsoever barrier would run with them into the void, because the two high-ranking officials have once no official offices more in football. It would be different in Niersbach, who has more to lose than its reputation: He sits on the Executive Committee of FIFA and also in that of the European Football Union (UEFA)
Niersbach could be banned – as Blatter. and Platini
“Niersbachs resignation as DFB president has no impact on its international offices,” DFB interim boss Rainer Koch had recently said. However, the ethics committee could the erstwhile hopes for reforms withdraw from the market, as it has already done with the FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter and UEFA President Michel Platini. Both were suspended for eight years.
Andreas Bantel, spokesman for the ethics committee, refused to SID request a review. He confirmed, however: “At present, no formal procedure against Wolfgang Niersbach, Franz Beckenbauer or Theo Zwanziger is running.”

After two weeks, the ban was lifted – Beckenbauer had submitted the answers
Now it is next to the unsettled payment of 6.7 million by the OK before the World Cup and a dubious contract between Beckenbauer and the now. lifetime locked FIFA vice-president Jack Warner go. This reportedly never implemented “Beckenbauer document” is regarded by the DFB interim leadership as a bribe.
Niersbach charged Beckenbauer heavily
From interrogation records of Freshfields, which also via “Bild” newspaper were made public, shows that Niersbach (65) has a hard time his old friend Beckenbauer charged. Accordingly, the millions were unofficially flowed to the FIFA Finance Commission to fund around 2002 Blatter’s re-election.
Similarly, the former DFB vice-general secretary Stefan Hans should have expressed. Beckenbauer had given the assurance of a subsequent grant for the World Cup organization in the amount of 170 million euros as the reason for the transfer. Blatter denies this vehemently.
Against Niersbach, twenties and former general secretary Horst R. Schmidt DFB also continue to identify, Frankfurt prosecutor’s office on suspicion of tax evasion in a severe case.
