In the Bundesliga, players and head coaches often earn millions. Does Germany’s richest club, of all things, feed youth coaches with dumping wages?
FC Bayern has trouble with the judiciary. Suspicion: Violations of the minimum wage law at Bavaria’s youth training center (NLZ).
According to a WDR report, the main customs office in Munich should act on behalf of the Munich I public prosecutor.
The criminal charge, among other things: “Withholding and misappropriating wages”.
A former Bayern coach claimed anonymously in the “sport inside” report: “In my opinion, it is an exploitation of young people who only understand relatively late that they were being kidnapped. It was the highlight: You travel somewhere to London or Berlin, spend three days with the children and write down 80 minutes of net playing time. “
Harsh reproaches. What does Bavaria say? The club did not respond to BILD’s request, nor did the public prosecutor. According to BILD information, the investigations will probably drag on until autumn 2022.
It is now being determined against the entire management team Oliver Kahn (CEO), Hasan Salihamidzic (Director of Sport), the Deputy Chief Executive Officer Jan-Christian Dreesen as well as board member Andreas Jung. In addition, the resigned board members apply Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Jörg Wacker as a suspect.
Is FC Bayern the only club that is suspected of exploiting 450 euro employees?
No, a raid has already taken place at FC Augsburg on suspicion of wage dumping.
According to BILD information, it is the practice at a number of Bundesliga clubs that youth coaches, supervisors and drivers receive mini-wages. That is why some clubs are currently watching the investigation in Munich with excitement.
