Munich football boss’s Swiss account becomes German political football

“German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday distanced herself from Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness, whose Swiss bank account and alleged tax dodge has poured fuel on a heated election-year debate.  ‘Many people in Germany are now disappointed in Uli Hoeness,’ said Merkel’s spokesman Steffen Seibert about the football club chief.  The 61-year-old football legend voluntarily disclosed a Swiss bank account in January and was working closely with investigators on a tax evasion probe. At a Bayern Munich press conference, journalists were told that the event would be immediately scrapped if anyone asked about the tax issue.”
