Well deserved.

I take it as a certainty that Hoeneß will appeal on points of law to reach a BGH decision on the matter.
However, he just became unbearable for Bayern München and should resign from the offices quick, before the board of directors makes him leave, to avoid adding insult to injury.
End of an era.

Sadly Uli had to put himself in this situation and justice was delivered. His loss is a big one for Bayern Munich.
Its sad to see Messi and Barca escape tax fraud with a fine while Uli goes to jail. But who ever said the world is supposed to be fair....

Can you please elaborate as to why Messi and Barca tax fraud (?) have anthing to do with Mr. H ? I somehow fail to grasp the connection here.

The difference is Messi was completely innocent, had nothing to do with his accountants. Complete nonsense bringing this into the discussion...

And yet Germany actually has a priviliged flat rate withholding tax on capital income which is roughly half of the top income tax rate. And there's the instrument of voluntary declaration for those who want to find their way back to tax compliance to go unpunished, which is also a privilege for the tax evader that's actually pretty hard to justify.
Hoeneß v.d. was rushed and therefore not exhaustive, most likely a panic reaction due to imminent tax fraud investigations and imminent publications of Stern. He's got no one to blame but himself.
Also, considering the maximum penalty on tax fraud and the sheer amount of taxes he evaded (which are by now 28.5 mil €, and the documents aren't even checked completely), the verdict was actually mild compared to similar cases.
Oh and btw., evading taxes is actually somewhat of a popular sport in Germany
