Germany: Bayern President sentenced to more than three years in prison

The Defense sought probation for his client to turn himself in, but the judge did not consider valid the call "self-denouncement" which would grant him an amnesty.

The leader of the Bavarian Club claimed to have a debt of just 18 million euros, the lawsuit revealed that the debt was 27 million after all.

Hoeness will appeal. "We are certain that the next court will have a more favourable in relation to the sentence handed down by this," says lawyer Hanns w. Feigen.

The President of the Club Champions League winner last year had accounts in Switzerland.

A personal friend of Angela Merkel, Hoenness came to defend the tax increases and even protested against the ... tax evasion.
