Corrupted judge disqualified for life © EuroFootball.com

The German Football Association permanently disqualified referee Robert Hoyzer, who contributed to one of the biggest cheating scandals in the entire history of German football. It is alleged that for biased decisions during matches, the German could receive about 67 thousand euros.

The 25-year-old referee admitted to cheating in four matches. For this, the German received large sums of money from a Croatian gang that made huge profits by placing massive bets in betting companies.

One of the most sensational R. Hoyzer's refereed matches was the German Cup match between the top league team "Hamburg" and the lower division team "Paderborn". With the referee's help, Hamburg shockingly lost that match. Everyone was particularly surprised by the referee's decision to inexplicably send off "Hamburg" forward Emile Mpenza from the field. By the way, after this match, the team's coach Klaus Toppmöller lost his job.
