BERLIN, Apr 22 (AP): Former Germany and Bayern Munich goalkeeper Oliver Kahn has been fined Ç125,000 ($180,586) at a German district court after failing to declare purchases made on a shopping trip. News agency DPA reports that the 41-year-old Khan was charged with tax evasion after being found with clothes and accessories worth Ç6687.90 ($9,700) at Munich airport customs when he returned from a trip to Dubai on Feb. 22, 2010.
The former goalkeeper used the exit for passengers with nothing to declare.
Khan, who won 86 caps for Germany, did not appear at the Landshut District Court Wednesday, but was represented by his lawyer.
