Former German foreign football player Christoph Metzelder would have confessed that judicial investigations opposed him over the ownership and dissemination of child pornography, although the scope of his confession remains uncertain.
This is stated in a decision of the Dusseldorf Administrative Court which was published on Monday and states: “The outcome of the investigation, which is reproduced in the order for prosecution of 27 August 2020, was based, inter alia, on the admission of the plaintiff, the testimony of a witness and the archives of images seized. “
In addition, he says, “There is already a minimum of evidence, the plaintiff’s confession. “
Lawyers wanted after the press release was withdrawn
Lawyers for former Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid had tried in the past to remove a press release from the court’s online page from the authority’s online page, showing the full call and opposite 39-year-old fees. Lawyers saw this as a violation of Metzelder’s non-public rights.
However, the court brazened the complaint and said the press release would not be deleted. The court could continue to report on the admission of the office, as the public interest was considered a priority. The text does not imply “non-objective or inadmissible prejudice. ” Therefore, Metzelder remains guilt-free until a legally binding resolution in criminal proceedings.
Metzelder is alleged to have owned some three hundred incriminating files and shared 29 files via WhatsApp. He resigned as president of his TuS Haltern am See children’s club in September last year after being questioned by police.
