FIFA delegates getting their cummupence! Blatter GONE today.

According to CNN News:

The United States brought charges against the suspects because the plots were allegedly hatched on American soil.

"According to U.S. request, these crimes were agreed and prepared in the U.S., and payments were carried out via U.S. banks," the Swiss Office of Justice said.

Prosecutors also say they think the broad reach of U.S. tax and banking regulations aid their ability to bring the charges.

In addition, U.S. authorities claim jurisdiction because the American television market, and billions paid by U.S. networks, is the largest for the World Cup.
 
Nike being investigated as well it seems, holy shit lol

"The indictment also alleges that corruption and bribery extended to the 2011 FIFA presidential election, and to agreements regarding sponsorship of the Brazilian national soccer team by a major US sportswear company."

Lynch said she "could not comment" on whether Nike was the firm involved.

Well there's only one major US sportswear firm that sponsor Brasil. Can we get a different kit maker now?
 
Not normally a fan of the FBI but glad to see they've got involved in this at last, don't think they are gonna be leaned on or bullied by governments or massive sponsors like some Europeans might have been. The U.S. attorney general has also mouthed off about this already so don't think anyone is gonna back down now. Maybe, just maybe, the bastards are gonna get their comeuppance at last.
 
Someone on here posted about four months ago this would happen if the FBI got involved.

Now that's what I call ITK :-)
