Referee Zwayer reports violent hostilities

Frankfurt / Main (AP) – According to his own statements, referee Felix Zwayer was violently attacked after the fuss about his person at the Bundesliga summit between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich.

“There have been numerous messages on my business email account that are unbelievable and that are very difficult to deal with and ignore,” said the 40-year-old, who is currently not active, on the Sky program “My Story”. The Berlin police wrote to him “that there was a death threat against me on the Internet”.

Zwayer was criticized by Dortmund after their 3-2 defeat in early December. BVB young star Jude Bellingham verbally attacked the 40-year-old. The Englishman had indirectly accused Zwayer of bribery, alluding to the 17-year-old Robert Hoyzer scandal.

Zwayer said he “couldn’t hide his reactions from his wife” as a result. “Especially because they were incredibly close to me. What happens then when you’re scheduled for an international game three days later? You try to load up that backpack and pick it up and say goodbye to your wife in the doorway like you’ve been doing 15 years. And then you see her burst into tears.” This is a situation “that is difficult to bear, to be honest – that is very difficult to bear,” said Zwayer.

According to the court documents on the Hoyzer scandal, Zwayer, who helped uncover the affair, accepted money like Hoyzer at the time. The referee contradicted this: “I was never offered money, I was never obviously told of any intended or implemented match-fixing. I never received money from Robert for any involvement in any game-fixing.” Also not from another person, Zwayer added when asked.
