Overview
- The Regierung von Oberbayern formally opened the disciplinary procedure on Thursday after a complaint from Munich city councillor Stefan Jagel and media reporting about Reiter’s Bayern posts.
- Authorities say the focus is on paid roles Reiter held on FC Bayern’s Verwaltungsbeirat since 2016 and briefly as its chair in February–March 2026, positions that also placed him on the club’s Aufsichtsrat.
- Reporting shows Reiter received about €20,000 a year since 2019, totaling roughly €90,000 that he later donated to social projects and for which he has publicly accounted.
- The regional government has notified Reiter’s lawyer, given him the chance to respond and stressed that the presumption of innocence applies while investigators establish the facts.
- If investigators confirm a service offence, disciplinary options under Bavarian rules include a reprimand, a fine or a partial reduction of retirement benefits, and the case could sharpen scrutiny of how paid outside work by elected officials is approved.
