BERLIN (AP) - The referee who admitted taking bribes to fix games went on trial with five others Tuesday in the biggest corruption case in German soccer in more than 30 years.
Robert Hoyzer, already banned for life by the German soccer federation, is charged with 11 counts of fraud. Former referee Dominik Marks, player Steffen Karl and three Croatian brothers accused of running a betting syndicate also went on trial.
The defendants could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
