Frankfurt, Germany: A tax evasion case linked to the awarding of the 2006 World Cup against former German FA (DFB) president Theo Zwanziger was dropped by a court in Frankfurt on Wednesday. Zwanziger was the third and final defendant to have his case scrapped in the decade-long legal battle.
The 79-year-old agreed to make a payment of 10,000 euros ($11,300) to a charity in exchange for the case being dropped, without a verdict awarded against him. The case relates to a payment of 6.7 million euros for a 2006 World Cup-related event which never took place.
