Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness was found guilty Thursday and sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison for evading millions of euros in tax through an undeclared Swiss bank account.

Hoeness' lawyers later announced that they plan to launch an appeal to Germany's Federal Court of Justice. They have seven days in which to do so.
The 62-year-old Hoeness, one of the most powerful figures in German football, was originally charged with not paying 3.5 million euros ($4.85 million) in taxes on money held in a Swiss bank account, but when his trial opened on Monday he admitted avoiding an additional 15 million euros.
