Germany soccer federation fined for tax evasion related to pre-2006 World Cup payment to FIFA

(AP Photo/Darko Bandic, file) BERLIN (AP) — The German soccer federation has been convicted of tax evasion related to the awarding of the World Cup hosted by the country in 2006. A regional court in Frankfurt fined the federation, known by its German acronym DFB, 110,000 euros ($128,000) at the culmination of the nearly 16-month trial on Wednesday. Advertisement Prosecutors had been pushing for a larger fine after accusing the DFB of failing to pay approximately 2.7 million euros (now $3.1 million) in taxes related to its payment of 6.7 million euros ($7.8 million) to FIFA, world soccer's governing body, in April 2005. That payment settled a loan that Germany great Franz Beckenbauer, the head of the World Cup organizing committee, had accepted three years earlier from Robert Louis-Dreyfus, a former Adidas executive and then part-owner of the Infront marketing agency. The money was channeled through a Swiss law firm to a Qatari company belonging to Mohammed Bin Hammam, then a member of FIFA's Executive Committee. The exact purpose of the money remained unclear. The DFB concealed the repayment of the loan as a contribution toward a planned World Cup opening gala, which was later canceled, and falsely declared it a business expense a year later.

The proceedings against all three, who consistently denied the allegations of tax evasion, were eventually dropped upon payment of fines. ___ AP soccer:

Austria's chancellor vows to toughen gun laws after school mass shooting

A 21-year-old former student killed nine students and a teacher at his school last week Published Jun 16, 2025 • Last updated 0 minutes ago • 2 minute read People and police officers gather near candles and flowers outside a school where a former student opened fire two days before, in Graz, Austria, Thursday, June 12, 2025. (AP Photo/Darko Bandic) VIENNA — Austria will toughen its gun laws, its chancellor said Monday, after a 21-year-old former student killed nine students and a teacher at his school last week in what's considered the Alpine country's deadliest post-war attack.

Create Account The shooting had sparked a debate about Austria's gun laws, which are among the more liberal in the European Union. The assailant in Graz used a shotgun and a pistol which he owned legally, police said shortly after the attack. 'Access to weapons must be regulated even more responsibly in Austria,' Christian Stocker said during a speech in Parliament in Vienna. The new laws will include 'stricter eligibility requirements for gun ownership and restrictions for certain risk groups,' the chancellor said, adding that data-sharing between the different authorities would be improved as well. 'In the future, wherever an individual risk situation is identified, consequences under firearms law must be drawn automatically,' Stocker said.

The chancellor said his Cabinet would pass the new measures later this week but didn't give any further details. However, on Saturday, Stocker told public broadcaster ORF that toughening the laws could include raising the minimum age for gun buyers. In the school shooting Tuesday at the BORG Dreierschutzengasse high school in Graz, nine students were killed _ six girls and three boys aged between 14 and 17 — as well as a teacher. Another 11 people were wounded. The attacker killed himself in a bathroom of his former school. Traditionally, many in Austria hold weapons, which they often use to go hunting in the Alpine country's vast forests. In general, it's more common to carry a weapon for that and less for self-defense. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. According to the Small Arms Survey, Austria ranks 12th in the world when it comes to holding civilian firearms, with 30 firearms per 100 residents. That's far less than in the U.S. which tops the ranking with 120 firearms per 100 residents, but more than Austria's neighbor Germany, which ranked 23rd with 19 firearms per 100 residents. In Austria, some weapons, such as rifles and shotguns that must be reloaded manually after each shot, can be purchased from the age of 18 without a permit. Gun dealers only need to check if there's no weapons ban on the buyer, and the weapon is added to the central weapons register. Other weapons, such as repeating shotguns or semi-automatic firearms, are more difficult to acquire. Buyers need a gun ownership card and a firearms pass. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Austria Press Agency has reported that the suspect had a gun ownership card, but this document merely entitles a holder to acquire and possess, but not to carry weapons such as the handgun. That weapon also would have required a firearm pass. In his speech on Monday, the chancellor also announced that all schools in the country would get more long-term psychological support for students and that police would increase their presence in front of schools until the end of the school year this summer. In addition, Stocker said, the government will create a compensation fund 'that will make it possible to help the affected families quickly and unbureaucratically — for example with funeral costs, psychological care or other urgently needed support services.'
