Fifa corruption charges

[Andyg]

Police have raided their HQ again today.

Personally i would like the UK to send them an invoice for £28m - which was the cost of our World Cup bid.

Fifa president Sepp Blatter has reportedly said it is "outrageous" he is being "condemned without there being any evidence for wrongdoing". Link.

Edit: Update: Sepp Blatter, Michel Platini & Jerome Valcke suspended.

Thread resurrection...Michel Platini questioned:

Former UEFA president Michel Platini is being questioned by French anti-corruption investigators over the awarding of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar.

Platini, 63, was head of European football's governing body until being banned in 2015 for ethics breaches.

The former France midfielder and three-time Ballon d'Or winner has always denied any wrongdoing.

Not surprised, given his association with Blatter and with Juventus :-)

“Back in 2010, then UEFA President Michel Platini said something must be done about the "financial doping" that is going on in European football.”
