An official in the German Federation demands a “harsh punishment” for Man City

Andreas Rettig, Director General of the German Football Association, called for the harshest possible penalties to be imposed on the English club, Manchester City, against the backdrop of its violations of financial regulations.

“Quite frankly, there is nothing worse than this,” Rettig told Kicker sports magazine. “For me, this is not the worst case scenario, but the worst fraud scenario, the most serious case of fraud imaginable.”

He added: “I hope that UEFA will take the maximum possible legal measures and impose the maximum possible penalty. This specifically means withdrawing the club’s license and stripping it of all its titles.”

The lawsuit against Manchester City relates to 115 possible offenses dating back to the period from 2009 to 2018, during which the club is alleged to have, among other things, provided misleading information about its financial position and artificially inflated sponsorship revenues.

An independent committee convicted the club in 114 cases, a ruling that Manchester City is appealing.
