The reputation of German football and its most lauded figurehead, Franz Beckenbauer, is in renewed peril as The Mail on Sunday can reveal that he is alleged to have had a central role in endorsing a financial inducement to Malta just weeks before that country voted for Germany to stage the 2006 World Cup.

Our investigation suggests that Beckenbauer, Germany's most iconic footballing hero, was complicit in influencing the votes of FIFA's executive committee in 2000, in a bid process for the 2006 tournament in which England lost out.

Beckenbauer, 70, was the president of Bayern Munich at the time as well as the head of Germany's 2006 organising committee.

This is exactly what I thought would happen. I fear that it's not over yet. They should look at 1994 and 1966 too .... In fact every World Cup ....

So far 2018 and 2022 under suspicion so too 2010 and 2006 .... More to come
