This concerns the football tournament in 2024. City employees took many tickets for little money. One man from Gelsenkirchen got a free trip. He went to a game in Munich for free. The public prosecutor in Bochum leads the case. Two men are in the focus. One man is from Germany. One man is from France. They worked for the company Euro 2024 GmbH.
