BERLIN (Reuters) - Two former German FA (DFB) bosses and two other people will stand trial for charges of tax evasion in relation to a 6.7 million euro (6.12 million pounds) payment linked to the 2006 World Cup, Frankfurt's Higher Regional Court said on Monday.
The ruling came 10 months after a lower Frankfurt Court had said that former DFB presidents Theo Zwanziger and Wolfgang Niersbach as well as former senior DFB official Horst Schmidt and former FIFA official Urs Linsi would not stand trial due to a lack of evidence.
