MUNICH (Reuters) - State prosecutors in Munich will not appeal a court ruling to send former Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness to jail for 3-1/2 years on a tax evasion conviction even though it was two years less than their demand, their office said on Monday.
Hoeness, 62, also opted on Friday not to appeal the ruling after the most spectacular tax evasion trial in the country's history. Hoeness resigned as Bayern's president and chairman of the supervisory board after the conviction.
