The actual corruption is plainly stated in the final 2 paragraphs of the Times article, where Panja notes the PSG chairman is on the UEFA board, and his BEIN Sports is the biggest rights bidder for UEFA. Hence PSG (who had the same the "inflation of sponsorships" years back but at exorbitant rates that were absurdly out of line with the market) got various settlement slaps on the wrist but nothing approaching the threat of a ban. What with David Gill and Juve's owner Agnelli on the board, the alignment of embittered forces vs. some the most beautiful football ever played is just a sad state of affairs for the world game.
