Outwardly, Loretta Lynch are always polite and charming, but the US Attorney General may be tough.
After a press conference in Washington one hour, the journalists have to wait, the woman in gold shiny shell excused only exuberant – and then bring out the brute sweeping blow against the Fifa
Fifa Hunter. Lynch is not about to show effect
Another 16 senior officials accuses the Attorney General, on 236 pages, a court in New York listed the allegations in detail. “Unbelievable” is the level of corruption, fulminating Lynch – by then a friendly smile and patiently answer all the questions of the journalists again
For the second time within. a few months this petite woman decried as Men’s Club Fifa has just messed up the show, only with the arrests before Congress in May, now with the raid on the day the reform debate.
This is not going Lynch to the big show effect and headlines, observers say, and colleagues.
“You will not escape us”
You should rather reserved and must often be persuaded to press conferences. The actions of the criminal investigators had also purely pragmatic – if the Fifa officials all meet in Zurich, know the investigators, where they are, and can easily access
“The message of this Communication should be clear, that remains in the dark, in the hope of being able to escape our investigations any culpable individual. You can not sit out the matter, they will not escape our focus”

The future of Fifa doubts Lynch openly. They cared about the “viability of the organization in the future” and also to the sincerity of their efforts for change.
Why proceed straight Lynch and the US Department of Justice so tough in this case, seems for European observers At first glance, surprising from the perspective of the US authorities, it is clear. For years, determined the FBI already in the matter, Lynch overlooked the case already in its previous position as a prosecutor in Brooklyn.
FIFA event offers Lynch a chance for profiling
The US judicial authorities see themselves as world police and because illegal funds flowed by banks headquartered in New York, they were able to accept the case. “When criminals get their corrupt activities in our country and to our banks, they must adhere to our rules,” said Diego Rodriguez from the FBI at Lynch’s press conference.
In the US, the sport also far from the aura of the sacred and inviolable, she sometimes gets in extreme football more enthusiastic countries.
And the case provides Lynch, the first African-American Attorney General, which it has received in her career many times before with the very rich and powerful among others on Wall Street, the chance for profiling.
“Justice wants to put an end to unbridled Kurroption”
Finally, Lynch is only since April officially Minister of Justice and has the job first secure only until the end of Obama’s second term end of 2016. ‘/ p>
In the meantime, it has in terms of Fifa so much more ahead: “The judicial authorities feel obliged to this unbridled corruption that we have discovered in the midst of the management level of international football to an end – not only because of the scale, the audacity and the scope that are needed to obtain such corruption upright, but also because this behavior is an affront to international principles. “
