FIFA World Cup Corruption Fiasco

[I Hart Man City]

They have to hand it over as evidence for the case. Surely it's becomes public after?

Depends on the law of the land and the court.

Yeah you're bob on.

We all know how open Switzerland is with their strict privacy laws...

It makes sense to be private when you yourself have gotten rich off the back of Nazi gold.





Allegedly.

There should be loads more governing bodies making a noise about this.

As all the corrupt FIFA and UEFA officials will have their money salted away in Swiss bank accounts, don't expect their legal system to find out anything amiss!

SSN: Sepp says FIFA won't publish the full Garcia report as requested by the English.

There was talk of a boycott of the Qatar World Cup. If you're going to do it then I suppose that is the one to do it at, but the repercussions of such a thing could be long felt by England.

I think the fact that FIFA is singling out two individuals is telling. Either they knew something was amiss any didn't act, or, as I am tending to believe, this is another token reaction to appease just enough member associations, in cutting off the infected arm to try and save the body despite the fact the rot has set in and is very much at home throughout.

FIFA investigating themselves is a joke, but you have to smile at the hypocrisy of someone like David Gill spouting such a claim, him and Dein were in positions on the FA and at member clubs which were similarly cloudy in their governance. Maybe not as rotten to the core as those above them, but clearly a system which also hid and fought transparency.

Re: FIFA Corruption

I dug this thread up when trying to find a proper spot for my question. Wasn't sure should it go in the FFP and City thread or this one.
In light of what's been going on in relation to FIFA being investigated at the moment and their lame attempts to deflect by filing a criminal investigation of their own.
Do any of you on here that are well up on these things, think that regardless if FIFA and Blatter in particular, manage to ride this one out, that there will be a lot more revelations to come from descenting voices.
Could this in turn, put the spotlight on Platini and UEFA, with possibly more people willing to blow the whistle on Cartel influence and the whole FFP circus.

Looks like Blatty Boy is calling out the FA in his response to Dykes request for the full report to be published.
Gettin' down and dirty now, motherfuckers.

Fifa whistleblower Phaedra Al-Majid fears for her safety

Fifa whistleblower Phaedra Al-Majid says she will "look over my shoulder for the rest of my life" after making allegations of corruption against Qatar's successful 2022 World Cup bid.
A two-year investigation has cleared the Gulf state of wrongdoing.
Now Al-Majid, whose testimony was not regarded as reliable, says she is paying the price for speaking out.
"I've been introduced to a whole new culture of paranoia, fear and threats," Al-Majid told BBC Sport.
"I will always look over my shoulder for the rest of my life."
Qatar's World Cup organising body has always "vehemently" denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
Al-Majid's allegations first came to light in 2011. Later the same year she retracted her accusations and signed an affidavit saying they were false.
However, she says she was coerced into changing her statement and repeated her allegations to lawyer Michael Garcia while he was compiling his 430-page report, which was then handed over to Fifa.
She now claims the FBI visited her in September 2011 after they became aware of threats against her.
Garcia's report has prompted Adidas - one of Fifa's six official partners - to request a meeting with the governing body to discuss allegations of corruption around the bid process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
Garcia moved to criticise Fifa's summary 42-page publication of his findings hours after its release, prompting FA chairman Greg Dyke to write to world football's governing body requesting the full publication of the investigator's findings.
But in a letter responding to Dyke, Fifa president Sepp Blatter says full publication would break Swiss law and Fifa's own rules.
He says the consent of all parties mentioned in the report would be needed for it to be made fully public and asks Dyke if his own letter may be interpreted as "providing consent" on behalf of everyone connected with England's 2018 bid team.

Basically saying to Dyke "We're bent but we know you are also and are you sure you want to go down this route?"

All the cunts are bent, each looking to line his or her pockets, they only get upset when they find out somebody has made a bigger killing than they have.

Disband the fucking lot of them and start again with a fresh set of rules for full accountability.

I get the feeling that this is the start of the end for FIFA.
It won't belong before the major sponsors start pulling out and when that happens FIFA are doomed.
