Bundesliga – Dortmund-Bayern: Disciplinary Commission opens investigation against Bellingham

Jude Bellingham could pay dearly for his comments on the referee of the Dortmund-Bayern match (2-3). The disciplinary committee of the German Football Association (DFB) on Monday opened an investigation against the BvB player. At first, the 18-year-old will have to present his arguments himself. The committee will then decide whether to prosecute him or not.

“If you watch a lot of decisions during the game … what can you expect if you give a referee who has rigged matches in the past the most important match in Germany to blow the whistle??“, launched after the final whistle the English striker on the Norwegian channel Viaplay. Felix Swayer, the referee of the” Klassiker “won by Munich thanks to a controversial penalty, was involved in 2005 in the biggest match scandal rigged that shook German football, when game director Robert Hoyzer had confessed to having influenced the outcome of several German Cup matches, on behalf of a rigged betting mafia.

Young linesman, Mr. Swayer was suspected of having been informed and even of having accepted 300 euros from Mr. Hoyzer. He had been suspended for six months, but the investigation had never proved his active participation in a match-fixing. Borussia Dortmund have decided to protect their player: “He is 18 years old and he spoke after a very hot and emotional match, we will support himDortmund sporting director Michael Zorc said on Sunday.

Mr. Zwayer and his video assistant found themselves in the midst of a heated debate after the match. They didn’t flinch when Lucas Hernandez (Bayern) fouled the box that could have earned Dortmund a penalty in the first half. But, on the injunction of his assistant, the referee came to see on screen the hand fault of Mats Hummels, which he had not whistled at first, and finally awarded the penalty, causing the fury of the Dortmund players and staff.
