A scandal has broken out in Germany involving the leaders of Eintracht Frankfurt, opponent of Napoli in the round of 16 of the Champions League (February 21-March 15). According to what the writes Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung who had confirmation from the city prosecutor, the president of the German club, Peter Fischer, in fact ended up under investigation for possession and use of cocaine. Furthermore, the German authorities are also investigating his wife and 25-year-old eldest son. But she didn’t end there. Because to make matters worse, of course always if the allegations were proven, that the episode would have come to the surface because of Fischer’s other son, who is only 13 years old. He too, as reported by the German media, allegedly used the drug together with a friend of his.

According to the first reconstructions, it was Peter Fischer’s wife who sounded the alarm, after noticing strange behavior in her 13-year-old son and a visible alteration in mood. Once the report was received, the German authorities searched the apartment of the president of theEintracht Frankfurt and one of the drug dogs would have found traces of cocaine on Fischer’s nightstand and even in the dessert they were eating as a family. And here, then, that the whole family ended up under investigation: the accusation against them of having stored the drugs so that the youngest son could find it. At the moment neither Fischer and his family nor Eintracht Frankfurt have released any official comments on the matter. If the allegations are confirmed in court, the number one of the German club could be forced to resign. To remember that Fischer president of Eintracht since 2000 and was re-elected for another four years at the end of September 2022 and is currently in his eighth term. In 2018 he had even been reconfirmed with 99% of the s of the approximately 100 thousand members. A triumph. Which now risks being just a distant memory.
