Dynamo Dresden’s captain Stefan Kutschke is criticized for a business partner. The association sees a need for action – and expresses itself.
This message triggers trouble about third division club Dynamo Dresden. Its captain Stefan Kutschke, together with two other shareholders, opened a fitness studio in Dresden. A private business relationship – but the association was compelled to react to this message. Because one of Kutschke’s business partners is said to have a right -wing extremist past.
