One-day Testimony Prior to the Germany Tilt - Thomas Müller facing trial during European Championship

The Incident: In the Champions League game between FC Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona on September 13, 2022, a surreptitious alarm sounded at Thomas Muller's abode. It's presumed that two burglars had infiltrated Muller's house in Otterfing, Miesbach, Bavaria while he played. Upon the cops' arrival, the thieves had skedaddled.

In the middle of June, the trial against the arrested suspect Nove N. (25), who was captured and delivered from Portugal in summer 2023, commences. Recently, N. has been kept in pre-trial detention at Stadelheim Prison in Munich, waiting for his day in court.

National Court spokesperson Bettina Kaestner clarified via request: "The proceedings are now set in the 3rd Criminal Chamber of the Munich II District Court." Three trial days have been designated: the 18th, the 25th, and the 26th of June.

Even though the European Football Championship was underway, Muller, the FC Bayern Munich talent, might be required to testify, per the court. Lisa Muller, Thomas' wife, could also be summoned. However, if Nove N.'s defense amends their attendance, Muller might be spared attending the trial.
