ZURICH (Reuters) - The Swiss fraud trial of three former senior German soccer officials and one Swiss over a suspect payment linked to the 2006 World Cup hosted by Germany looked on the verge of collapse as the court ordered a weeks-long halt on Tuesday.
The Federal Criminal Court said it had stopped the trial until at least April 20, citing Swiss government instructions for people older than 65 to avoid public contact given the risks posed by the coronavirus outbreak.
