Franz Beckenbauer: Germany legend investigated over 2006 World Cup award
22 March 2016 European Football
World Cup-winning captain and coach Franz Beckenbauer is one of six men being investigated for their part in Germany's 2006 World Cup bid.
The ethics committee of world governing body Fifa has opened proceedings after examining a report commissioned by the German Football Association (DFB).
In October, Beckenbauer, 70, said he made a "mistake" in the bidding process for which he took "responsibility".
Germany beat South Africa 12-11 in the vote, which took place in July 2000.
Who are the six being investigated?
Franz Beckenbauer: Former vice-president of the DFB, president of the 2006 World Cup local organising committee (LOC) and former member of the Fifa executive committee.
