"If tomorrow there are no more applications to submit new evidence, then final summaries can be heard and the verdict handed down," Munich regional court spokeswoman Andrea Titz said Wednesday.
Football-obsessed Germany has been gripped by the high-profile trial this week of Hoeness (62) a former star player then team manager and current club president who is also a successful businessman.
The public image of the stocky, folksy Bavarian, known also as a conservative TV talk-show regular, has taken a beating since the scandal around his secret Swiss bank accounts broke early last year.
On Monday he ruefully confessed to large-scale tax fraud and admitted to a year-long obsession with stocks and currency "gambling".
