Ex-Germany star Kahn heavily fined for tax evasion

Former Germany goalkeeper Oliver Kahn has been fined 125,000 euros (around $182,200) in court for failing to declare more than 6,000 euros of luxury clothing he bought on a trip to Dubai.

According to the AFP, the 41-year-old was fined for tax evasion by a regional court in Landshut, Bavaria, after he failed to declare clothes worth 6,685 euros ($9,745) when he returned to Munich airport after a trip to the Middle East.

The collection of polo shirts, t-shirts, sweaters, shirts, trousers, jackets and cuff-links were from top brands such as Armani and Dolce & Gabbana.

At the customs in Munich airport, Kahn used the ‘nothing to declare’ aisle, but the tax on the imported goods was 2,119 euros, which resulted in the fine.
