Police in Germany conducted raids in relation to suspected corruption at the 2024 European Championship on Wednesday. The headquarters of the German soccer federation (DFB) was among the premises searched, the Bild tabloid reported, saying tournament organizer Euro 2024 GmbH, a joint venture between the DFB and UEFA, was being investigated. “The investigations concern alleged unauthorized favors including attendance to a football game among others that an accused individual, who was working for a host city at the time, is said to have received from officials of the organizing entity,” the Bochum Public Prosecutor’s Office and North Rhine-Westphalia State Office of Criminal Investigation (LKA NRW) said in a joint statement.
