Former Bayern Munich President Uli Hoeness is set to leave prison halfway through a 42-month sentence, as his early release has been approved.
The Associated Press (for the Daily Mail) reports the 64-year-old will be released on February 29, although he will be placed under probation for three years.
Hoeness was found guilty of tax evasion and started a three-and-a-half year sentence in 2014, although he has been involved in a work release program as well, which only required him to spend the night in a jail in Augsburg.
