Uli Hoeness, the former Bayern Munich president, continues to attract attention even off the pitch, now due to his incarceration. Initially slated to serve his sentence at the Landsberg am Lech Correctional Facility — the same prison once known for holding historical figures — Hoeness reportedly expressed discontent after the prison allowed media access on April 1st. The openness of the facility to the press clearly upset the former football executive, who wished to maintain a low profile during his sentence.
In response, Hoeness requested a transfer to Landshut prison, a more discreet facility known for offering better conditions, including individual cells with modern beds and even flat-screen TVs — a stark contrast to typical prison environments. Despite being removed from Bayern’s Hall of Fame following his conviction for tax evasion, Hoeness remains a controversial and closely watched figure in German football.
