Ex-Bayern boss starts prison term

Former Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has started serving his prison sentence for tax evasion.

Hoeness was convicted in March of evading taxes on a private bank account in Switzerland and sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison.

His lawyers and Bavarian justice officials say he reported to the Landsberg am Lech prison in southern Germany.

Hoeness admitted evading taxes on at least €28.5m.

The former Germany star and long-time Bayern manager declined to appeal and stepped down as president of Germany’s biggest club.
