On suspicion of tax evasion in particularly serious cases, the Frankfurt am Main public prosecutor's office searched the premises of the German Football Association (DFB) as well as the private apartments of those responsible for the DFB.
A total of around 200 officials were involved in the measures in Hesse, Bavaria, North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony and Rhineland-Palatinate, as the public prosecutor announced.
It is about income from the perimeter advertising of home football matches for the national soccer team in 2014 and 2015.
