The DFB runs a procedure against the person responsible for the WM-OKs 2006 and against FIFA. It’s about the controversial circumstances at the world Cup award and to claims for damages in the millions.

It is a for this industry to be an unusual process, but it is also about a lot of money. As the media outlets “NDR”, “WDR” and the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” (SZ) reports, the German football Federation, compensation in the millions by the organizing Committee of the 2006 football world Cup in Germany, claiming: The Association has a procedure introduced to prevent possible claims against the world Cup-OK-tip to Franz Beckenbauer and the former DFB President
Theo Zwanziger and Wolfgang Niersbach expire.

The focus is on the dubious payments made in connection with the awarding of the soccer world Cup 2006 to Germany: It should be a opaque business between the world Cup organizing Committee, FIFA and the former Adidas boss Robert Louis-Dreyfus in the run-up to the 2006 world Cup have given the 6.7 million Euro have been moved. Investigators from the law firm Freshfields to examine since October 2015, the suspicion that the 6.7 million euros at the time in a black FIFA cash flowed.

There, the DFB made a request to “initiate an Güteverfahrens” against its own former blue-chip as well as against the football world governing body FIFA and the executor of the will of the now deceased Louis-Dreyfus submitted. This will help the DFB, apparently, given the opportunity, the potential damage to reclaim. This amounts to about Beckenbauer, Zwanziger, Niersbach, Schmidt and the Beckenbauer Trust Fedor Radmann.

“Methods of Tricksern”

The applications has the Association already at the end of 2015 submitted. This was the limitation of the possible actions is interrupted, because often forfeited claims after ten years. A procedure in Hamburg is regarded as one of the easiest and cheapest ways to get around this, even if it is there mostly to artisans bills or rental disputes. “The DFB has made the necessary arrangements to any Statute of limitations of claims of the non-profit Association to prevent,” said the Association on request. “Objections or contradictions are at the present time, not before.”

This, in turn, could be the fact that the delivery of applications often takes months. The affected former world Cup-OK-members were not pre-by the DFB informed, one promised oneself of it apparently help in the investigation by the investigators. Since living in Switzerland Radmann the documents, however, already has gotten, the thing in the room. “I feel the DFB was set up, the methods of Tricksern”, said one of the Affected the Rechercheverbund of NDR, WDR and SZ.
