11:11 pm
a little bit more about these charges and where they come from prepared a report let's take a look at that right now. the man behind germany's wildly successful hosting of the 2006 world cup are in trouble on tuesday the swiss attorney general's office brought charges against former german football association president's new year's bokken tayo sponsored go and former general secretary horst are schmidt the 3 stand accused of falsely claiming a payment of $6700000.00 euros from the german if a defeat was depression the financial world cup gala an event that never took place in 2002 then world cup organizing committee boss france beckenbauer received 6700000 euros from entrepreneur robert louis dreyfus back in bauer then transferred this money to former qatari official mohamed bin hammam who has since been suspended for life due to corruption the central question of why be in hama and receive the money is still unclear to investigators into. 1005 the d.f.t.
