Little Time? At the end of the text there’s a summary.
The time of eternal FIFA President Joseph Blatter is probably over. Actually Blatter had announced his resignation in June, which should be done at a special congress of FIFA, which was scheduled for February 26 2016th But now everything is in the stars. The giant Fifa imploded. The Swiss Federal Prosecutor’s Office has initiated a criminal case against Blatter. As expected, the process is performed for unfaithful agency and embezzlement, Blatter could face up to five years’ imprisonment. The 79-year-old had left his former campaign workers and former vice-president Jack Warner at a symbolic price of TV rights act several World Cups – a gigantic business with millions of profits for Warner, whose extradition from Trinidad and Tobago to the United States is imminent. Warner threatens several decades in prison for money laundering, serious corruption and tied excessive conspiracy.
Just two weeks, since the Swiss television presented one of the many contracts Warner, who was signed by Blatter, the Attorney General has the unique situation examined.
On Friday noon, when the FIFA Executive Committee met on the Zurich mountain in a bug-proof room in the basement and some seriously polluted officials once again orakelten about bizarre reforms, the investigators of the Attorney General and the Federal Criminal Police drove discreetly in the a parking garage, unobserved by almost two hundreds, journalists who were waiting outside the building.
The officers ransacked Blatter’s office, seized further documents, interrogated him and heard also the former election officials, sports governing students and nunmehrigen nemesis Michel Platini, president of European football’s governing body Uefa.
Platini, which is difficult entangled in the corruptive activities of the World Cup host Qatar, wanted on 26 February 2016 Blatter’s successor. But UEFA will probably have to seek a new President under the circumstances.
For the real sensation of the day revealed the Attorney General in the afternoon, after the by surprise and now completely unguided Fifa had canceled the mandatory press conference after the executive session: In addition to the World Cup contracts for Jack Warner Blatter is a most ominous payment set of two million Swiss francs at a FIFA vice-president to the load – to Michel Platini. The money was transferred in February 2011 and should have been allegedly intended for Platini’s services as a consultant Blatter in the FIFA from 1999 to 2002.
Why Platini was paid only nine years later?
Ironically, at a time when, in February 2011, when all knew that Blatter in Fifa-election campaign oppose the candidacy of another of his former campaign workers had: against the heavily corrupt, now live long locked Mohamed Bin Hammam of Qatar.
Blatter wanted to buy about support Platini in the election campaign of 2011? Platini sent word yet on Friday night: “This amount is related to my work that I have done under a contract with FIFA and I am glad that I was able to clarify this matter with the authorities.”
As FIFA has approved enormous bills for spin doctors and propagandists in the Uefa also Platini. Their work was not without consequences: In the course of Friday it was amazing that the dubious role of Platini was hardly mentioned as a recipient of a two-million payment.
If the FIFA Ethics Committee Blatter suspend, at the same time a procedure against Platini would be opened. In the wake of the controversial World Cup award 2022 Qatar is already investigating the French.
Who manages the affairs of the Fifa now?
If both have to go, would the current First Vice-President Issa Hayatou from Cameroon take over as FIFA President, the other among many scandals entangled in the Qatari gate. As head of the FIFA administration in Zurich now acts again ad interim the former Deputy Secretary-General and Chief Financial Officer Markus Kattner, a German who has also signed the classified by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office a criminal offense Jack Warner contracts.
One can this kind of functions and people, current occupations and potential replacements, on through play and will come to no useful result. Not without reason the Fifa lead the criminal investigators in the US as so-called Rico (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization): as controlled by gangsters severely corrupt organization
And yet. It applies the presumption of innocence. Even for well-documented facts in a global, mafia system that Joseph Blatter helped build instrumental in Fifa in his 40 years – even if not he cashed most million
In summary: Two million. Franken flowed from Blatter at Uefa boss Platini. What has the collects the money? This process, which was now known as part of the Swiss investigation against Blatter, is another sign of how deeply both stuck in Fifa Swamp. Although the designated heritage Blatter Platini should rush, it remains unclear how it can go at the top of Fifa.
