The DFB ethics committee has discussed the Nazi settlement of the ailing President Fritz Keller and submitted the result to the DFB sports court for a decision.

The DFB announced this on Monday evening.

The association did not provide any information on the details of the completed deliberations.

As the "Bild" reports, Keller will soon have to answer to the DFB sports court.

So far, an incumbent DFB president has never appeared there as a defendant.

A further procedure involving the DFB boss and his office manager was also discussed, here the four-person commission pleads for approval of the discontinuation of the procedure.

Keller had called Vice President Rainer Koch "Freisler" and compared it with Roland Freisler, the chairman of the People's Court under National Socialism.

Secretary General Friedrich Curtius is said to have reported the incident directly to the ethics committee.

On Sunday, the heads of the state and regional associations withdrew their trust from both Keller and the long-standing secretary general.

The commission also advised two motions against Curtius.

On the one hand, it concerns the circumstances in connection with the immediate termination of Keller's office manager and, on the other hand, the forwarding of a letter from Keller to the media advisor Kurt Diekmann.

These results were also submitted to the sports court; there was no mention of an attitude here.

Curtius had made his first statement on Monday after the vote of the regional and state chiefs and initially did not draw any personal conclusions.

"I am available for discussions on constructive solutions for the DFB at any time, this of course also includes my role," the official communicated via the German Football Association.

"I respect the vote of the conference of regional and state associations and take it very seriously," said Curtius.
