UEFA board member charged with bribery

Interesting timing. All to do with world cup media rights.

Am sure UEFA had already conducted their own trial and found nothing worth reporting.

As Valcke has already been suspected by FIFA, what chance PSG's owner is next?
 
Cheers Kaz for posting, I suspect you and City Xtra are the only ones that will do so. I never go on Rag or Dip sites but I bet they are not mentioning this, especially as he is on the FFP part of Uefa !

Can I just ask a stupid question, stupid because you lot will know the answer but I will ask anyway.

How did this get to the Swiss Court ? Whilst I am glad they are taking down members of the cartel I cant work out why they got involved. Did someone complain (us - giggle)

Thank you

FIFA are based in Switzerland, so the crime is there.

UEFA's office is in Switzerland, therefore any corruption comes under there legal system.

Cheers and I sort of guessed that, no I did honest, but I assume someone complained to them ? I have tried googling how it all started but I don't seem to get any further than todays news. One reason for asking is I wondered if the Sheikh had ever given a wedge to private detectives and said go find the shit on those Uefa bastards.

Edit: In the City Forum, on the City banned in Europe mega thread, someone has posted a tweet. This indicates that Fifa originally brought the charge but then looked to withdraw it after coming to an agreement. It seems the Swiss court have told them to fuck right off, they will continue the proceedings. I tell you what it is bloody complicated but it highlights how dodgy the bastards are and how they think they are above the law.
