The prosecution at Stuttgart District Court ('state court' is an infelicitous translation, IMHO) is known for their ... well, sometimes astonishing legal view.

This trial will be in the media for some time: both sides want to go through the instances.

That does it. Sepp Blatter is so on his way to jail.

Not to jail, but 6.000 € :wink:

No, honestly: the prosecution has drooped the charge against those politicans nimh mentioned above to wait for a (final) result in this trial.



(Now I know, why the changed the old "No Parking"-sign years ago: the old one [with a crossed out 'P'] animated to park a car exactly there ...)

3.600 Euro fine - that's what the Stuttgart County Court ruled today.

So, as said, we have to wait for the ruling of the appeal court, the Federall Court of Justice.
