BERLIN, July 1 : German investigators launched nationwide searches including at the offices of the DFB soccer association, the sport's national governing body, over suspected ticket allocation violations, the Bild newspaper reported on Wednesday. The raid was prompted by investigations into a German national and a French national among others, Bild said. A statement by police and prosecutors said searches were being conducted in several locations in Germany, without mentioning the DFB. (Writing by Matthias Williams, editing by Linda Pasquini)
