German court has convicted Bayern Munich, Uli Hoeness of tax evasion on Thursday and sentenced the soccer manager to 3-1/2 years in jail term.
Uli Hoeness,who turned Bayern Munich into one of the world's most successful clubs was convicted and sentenced Thursday. Hoeness's voluntary disclosure - that he had failed to pay taxes - was incomplete and thus did not meet a vital requirement needed for amnesty under German tax laws designed to encourage tax evaders to come clean; prosecutors argued.
