The Markus Anfang case also concerns the control committee of the German Football Association (DFB).
The DFB announced this when asked by SPIEGEL.
"First of all, it is a question of whether there may have been a violation of the hygiene concept of the DFB and DFL that was valid during Corona times," the association said in its answer.
Beginning resigned from his position as coach of the second division Werder Bremen last Saturday.
Before that, it had become known that the 47-year-old was being investigated by the public prosecutor for a forged vaccination certificate.
The beginning had firmly rejected the allegations, but the Bremen health department filed a criminal complaint.
The public prosecutor's office in Bremen has apparently found incriminating information in the course of its investigation.
»The North Rhine National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, which is responsible for the Cologne vaccination center, has informed us that the personal details of Mr Anfang are not available in the IT system.
That means that he was not vaccinated in Cologne, "said Chief Public Prosecutor Frank Passade on Monday the sports information service:" The suspicion that it is a fake has been confirmed. "
In the media on Tuesday there was even speculation about the impending loss of the football teacher's license.
The DFB pointed out the presumption of innocence.
Reports of possible effects on the initial coaching license have been labeled "speculative".
At the beginning, however, there is a risk of a fine on the part of the DFB sports court in the event of a violation of the hygiene concept.
