AC Milan fined over Bwin Sponsored Shirts

AC Milan have been fined 100,000 euros for wearing a shirt with Bwin, a sponsor outlawed in Bavaria during their Champions League match with Bayern Munich according to a council spokesman said on Thursday.

Milan’s shirt sponsor, private Austrian oddsmakers bwin, are not allowed to advertise in Bavaria and other German states because sports betting is restricted to federal companies in the country.

The fine will likely not hurt the Italian giants, as their semi- final berth from a 2-0 win Wednesday was worth a bonus of 3 million euros from the controlling body UEFA.
