FIFA "Rampant" Corruption Exposed Following DOJ Indictment, 14 Arrested In Swiss Hotel - FBI/DoJ Press Conference Live Feed
US Justice Department and FBI comments on the FIFA Investigation
That FIFA has been a hotbed of corruption, shady backroom dealings and outright crime for years, has been known to anyone with even a passing interest in football. Which is why we were surprised to learn this morning that none other than the US Attorney General, seemingly content with all the wristslaps handed out to criminal US foreign banks (and subsequent SEC waivers) gave FIFA the red card in a charge detailing "rampant" corruption in international soccer hours after 14 officials were arrested on accusations of a 24-year scheme to enrich themselves through FIFA, whose office was searched in a series of dawn raids in Zurich.
Nine FIFA Officials and Five Corporate Executives Indicted for Racketeering Conspiracy and Corruption http://t.co/7SvYgNmlaN
— Justice Department (@TheJusticeDept) May 27, 2015
The US charge was announced alongside of a Swiss criminal probe related to the controversial 2010 award of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar, respectively, hours after seven soccer officials were arrested and 14 indicted in Zurich, concurrent with a raid on the soccer body’s hilltop office in Zurich. The case involves bribes "totaling more than US$ 100 million" linked to commercial deals dating back to the 1990s for soccer tournaments in the United States and Latin America, the Swiss Federal Office of Justice said in a statement.
The U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement that two current FIFA vice presidents were among those arrested, Jeffrey Webb of the Cayman Islands and Eugenio Figueredo of Uruguay. The others are Eduardo Li of Costa Rica, Julio Rocha of Nicaragua, Costas Takkas of Britain, Rafael Esquivel of Venezuela and Jose Maria Marin of Brazil. All seven are connected with the regional confederations of North and South America and face up to 20 years in prison if convicted of racketeering.
The arrests sanctioned by the US DOJ as part of a separate US corruption probe took place at the lakeside Baur au Lac Hotel in downtown Zurich, long favored as a place for senior FIFA officials to stay. It was the stage for intense lobbying for votes ahead of the 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosting decisions in December 2010, and is where this Friday FIFA President Sepp Blatter’s re-election was due to take place. Blatter was not among those originally charged by the US DOJ.

People stand outside the Baur au Lac hotel in Zurich, Switzerland, Wednesday, May 27, 2015 where six soccer officials were arrested and detained by Swiss police on Wednesday pending extradition at the request of U.S. authorities after a raid.
"The indictment alleges corruption that is rampant, systemic, and deep-rooted both abroad and here in the United States," Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch said in the statement. "It spans at least two generations of soccer officials who, as alleged, have abused their positions of trust to acquire millions of dollars in bribes and kickbacks."
As reported by Bloomberg "The collection of relevant bank documents had already been ordered beforehand at various financial institutes in Switzerland,” the Swiss Attorney General’s office said in a statement on its website. “The files seized today and the collected bank documents will serve criminal proceedings both in Switzerland and abroad.”
According to AP, FIFA said Friday's presidential election would go ahead as planned with Sepp Blatter going for a fifth term. FIFA also ruled out a revote of the World Cups won by Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022.
The Swiss prosecutors' office said in a statement they seized "electronic data and documents" at FIFA's headquarters on Wednesday as part of their probe. And Swiss police said they will question 10 FIFA executive committee members who took part in the World Cup votes in December 2010.
Bloomberg also reports that the choice of Qatar, the world’s richest country per capita, and Russia was made following a campaign that was overshadowed by claims of vote rigging. An investigation carried out on FIFA’s behalf by former U.S. Attorney Michael Garcia ruled last year that though there were examples of wrongdoing, nothing was found that would require a re-vote. Garcia rejected the ruling and quit.
As many as half the FIFA membership that decided where the World Cup should be played have faced accusations of breaching regulations. Qatar and Russia have denied their bid teams acted improperly. “It is suspected that irregularities occurred in the allocation of the FIFA World Cups of 2018 and 2022,” the Swiss authorites said in the statement. “The corresponding unjust enrichment is suspected to have taken place at least partly in Switzerland.”
Among those charged by the Justice Department include Jeffrey Webb, the head of the regional soccer body for North and Central America and the Caribbean, and Jack Warner, his predecessor. Mr. Webb is also a FIFA vice president.
According to the WSJ, the 47-count indictment accuses two generations of soccer officials of working with sports marketing executives to shut out competitors and keep lucrative contracts for themselves.
Prosecutors said U.S. and South American sports marketing executives paid more than $150 million in bribes and kickbacks to FIFA officials to obtain media and marketing rights to international soccer tournaments.
Authorities said they obtained 6 guilty pleas, including from Charles Blazer, the former general secretary of regional body Concacaf, and Mr. Warner’s son Daryll.
According to the indictment, the alleged bribes affected the awarding of rights around World Cup qualifiers and other Concacaf tournaments, including in Brazil. Prosecutors said it also affected the selection of the host country for the 2010 World Cup, which took place in South Africa.

Blatter had been scheduled to attend a meeting of the Confederation of African Football in a different downtown Zurich hotel, but he canceled his appearance.
Blatter's only opponent in Friday's presidential election, Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan, said it was "a sad day for football," but declined to comment further.

More details in the DOJ indictment:
Nine FIFA Officials and Five Corporate Executives Indicted for Racketeering Conspiracy and Corruption
The Defendants Include Two Current FIFA Vice Presidents and the Current and Former Presidents of the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF); Seven Defendants Arrested Overseas; Guilty Pleas for Four Individual Defendants and Two Corporate Defendants Also Unsealed
A 47-count indictment was unsealed early this morning in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, charging 14 defendants with racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering conspiracies, among other offenses, in connection with the defendants’ participation in a 24-year scheme to enrich themselves through the corruption of international soccer. The guilty pleas of four individual defendants and two corporate defendants were also unsealed today.
The defendants charged in the indictment include high-ranking officials of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the organization responsible for the regulation and promotion of soccer worldwide, as well as leading officials of other soccer governing bodies that operate under the FIFA umbrella. Jeffrey Webb and Jack Warner – the current and former presidents of CONCACAF, the continental confederation under FIFA headquartered in the United States – are among the soccer officials charged with racketeering and bribery offenses. The defendants also include U.S. and South American sports marketing executives who are alleged to have systematically paid and agreed to pay well over $150 million in bribes and kickbacks to obtain lucrative media and marketing rights to international soccer tournaments.

And now we just sit back and wait to see how many of the defendants sent "donations" to the Clinton Foundation and how many speeches Hillary and/or Bill gave at the Baur au Lac in the past two decades.

HA. This is hilarious on so many different levels. But the first level is surely because Putin got the World Cup
Lots of FIFA officals arrested for minor fraud but not one banker excutive.
why does the US DOJ have any jurisdiction or interesting in an sport outside the US?
Because all the currency changing hands were USD.
Wasnt that same FIFA that recently boycoted Israel in some way?
They won't go after Wall St. but they sure have a hard-on for Ball St. - what a joke!............
Libor fixed, FX fixed, precious metals fixed, HFT manipulated: NOTHING
Soccer fixed: PRISON
Nothing to see here, move along.
finally, something is being done.
the swiss have been f*cking around with this for years.
blatter blows smoke up their collective a**es and it's forgotten for another year.
now maybe they'll stop construction on that pile-of-s*it fifa museum in zürich.
viva fussball
Hey now! You're supposed to look the other way when money is being made. Someone didn't get the memo.
Don't look into the dark corners of the NBA, MLB, Olympics, or NFL -- or you will find the same thing.
So...
Why is the DOJ involved in this? Are they racketering (a nothing crime) or corrupting US politicians? Because Russia and Qatar are not the United States.
If you think this has anything other than to do with Russia, then you were born yesterday.
Just shows how utterly pathetic the United States government has become....swooping to shit like this to take cheap swipes at Russia. Look at France as well, reneging on contracts with Russia re the Mistral deal, because its "upset" at its involvement in Ukraine (but well done in Libya - good work frogs).
The West has become a fucking joke. The real good, smart players emerging are Russia and China. The West looks like a bunch of tantrum-throwing amateurs, swooping to low level shit. Disgrace.
They should all be tortured and executed. There are plenty of people who would volunteer to torture them publicly by cutting off pieces of their faces, cooking them and forcing them to eat them. Disembowling them while alive and forcing them to watch as dogs eat their entrails would be a nice touch.
I am confused. You are this upset about a game? How do you feel about 1,000,000 Iraqis dead because your government is composed of liars? Where is the justice for the innocents killed in Iraq- how about the 4000 plus dead American soldiers?
Can I get you to take the time to put your Congressional members contact info into your phone? With this information at your fingertips you can contact all three in 6-8 min. Call every week or every day, whatever you can manage and DEMAND CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM.
In addition it will piss the NSA off. Imagine how angry it will make them to have to watch a bunch of calls to Congress. They will be monitoring these calls no doubt. You know they are always looking for dirt on those who work in D.C.
Call "your" CONgressman to remind them of their date and time for the guillotine.
"Save the date."
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
Guillotines--The only "continuity of government I support."
Yeah, then they should go after the ref's lol. apparently the DOJ has jurisdiction world wide.
for some reason I don't think this will help the USMNT but I don't care because my team won last year...DIE MANNSCHAFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moments like this I am in awe of Obama & Co and their genius. Misdirection is a powerful tool and it seems the bigger the distraction, the better it works.
Fuck, Obama & Co must have something really big coming down the pike to be dragging this shit out into the circus ring.
Yes, true. But, ....Forget THAT.... QUICK, look over THERE! STOP the PRESSES!!
Indeed, keep the sheeples minds on the obviously corrupt while they're being ass fucked. Works every time.
Meanwhile Congressmen can continue to do insider trading with exemptions.
Next stop: BIS.
What I can't understand is that this criminal injunction comes from the US--good diversionary play Btw-- whereas it should come par excellence from the lands that invented football : aka EU and consorts!
How can such a corrupt power construct -- comparable to the one that runs the Olympics and only bows to those Nike/Addidas/Coke/McDonalds/Mastercard conglomerates--cannot have caught the eye of EU commission antitrust --haha, Juncker and his "when things get tuff we all have to lie" (and cheat) cabal who ALWAYS look the other way -- is an insult to all sports lovers around the world and to Europe's rulers !
Even the Euro equivalent of UEFA run by Platini ( a ex-friend of Blatter now cowed down opponent) waiting in the wings or Figo of Portugal who also desisted--such be Blatter's pull in money circles-- never revolted and shouted out their outrage, is in itself an admission of complicity that power corrupts beyond our dreams the heroes of yester year!
When a football smells of turd fever we are in the pits of a five star hotel lavatory; all gold plated but just as smelly as that of a shanty town shit for a dime hole.
The U.S. justice department can exradite FIFA officials from Switzerland but cannot be bothered to arrest anyone involved in breaking banking laws. How many infactions now- LIBOR, FOREX, wrongful foreclosures, derivatives, and on and on.
They won't arrest their campaign financiers but will arrest those who try to sully entertainment. They want you to keep watching while they keep funneling funds into their coffers.
American justice/government bought and paid for. DEMAND CAMAIGN FINANCE REFORM !
DOJ should arrest USG .... oh my bad .. Obama is so fucked
Soccer is now total shit, thanks in large part to the bullshit that these cunts have been allowed to get away with for decades.
Insane amounts of money have polluted that game beyond repair.
14 arrested over a game. 0 for fixing all markets. Sounds legit.
It's done them a favour.
Now they'll negotiate through their expensive legal team a relatively small fine of a few million dollars, and pay the price for the crime they allegedly committed. Not a day spent in jail, and the US government gets a nice slice of the pie for the treasury.
They can then live the rest of their lives without worrying about being arrested and enjoy the money they allegedly took.
To be honest, it's the way to go for all governments to get some extra cash. Pick on a few corrupt officials, take the money they stole, and slap them on the wrist. Most of them will cave in the moment TSHTF anyway, they couldnt do stir and not have any chateau lafite.
How about the "non-profit" corporation known as the NFL?
Between their $44M CEO and the flagrant political messages it gives a whole new meaning to "non-profit".
How about the TSA like theat-urity to get in?! Which is really a disguised effort to increase concession sales.
I know of at least two season ticket holders that have told the NFL to get bent because of the theat-urity in the last few years.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
One's wife got into a spat with the gun and badge thug "wanna-be" while trying to enter a game. A supervisor gave them the long well-worn spiel about bombs, and crowds--blah, blah, blah. The next week they went to a concert in the same stadium with over 50,000 people, and no theat-urity. That was it for them.
The national nightmare is OVER. Thank god we have a Justice Department that knows what is important and what is not.
What a joke US government agencies have become.
As Hillary was reading the news this morning, a hot mic caught her saying..."see we're not the only ones".
If FIFA was run by the same poeple that run the NFL nobody would repeort a thing. I wonder why? Lets look a the nfl names change but the gene pool stays the same.
"Winner, winner! Chicken dinner!"
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
"Why tax it, when you can just take it."
until january of this year, when MLB got a new commissioner, for the 5 major sports leagues, nfl, nba, mlb, nhl, mls - all but one of the commishes {or equivalent} was a Jew. NBA had 2 in a row.
That's pretty remarkable, 2.5% gen pop, but less remarkable when you look at the fact that 2.5% owns a good 40-50% of nba and nfl teams. dunno about hockey, assume its less, baseball is over-rep but less than the nfl, which is bananas.
You get a winner's chicken dinner as well.
Zion looked around and said, "Wow, something that is slipping through our plundering mitts. Quick, get our DC US war dog and bitch on the phone."
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
Zion is a civilization based on plunder.
Just an Observation I think Israel is under Represented in US Foreign War Allies. Certainly Canada, France, England send soldiers in small numbers and even Germany and some Scandanavia might send some.
But we give $3 Billion away each year in Military Assistance to Israel.
And the US Meme is that we had to go fight in WWI & WWII and as a big part of NATO we would go back to fight in Europe, Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Guttar,...
So where is our Alliance with Israel saying they will fight with us in Russia, Poland, Eastern Europe, and Ukraine.
US Supports Israel without end, where is the military Pay off.
I could never understand why the tribe is so active in sports 'management' (same on this side of the pond) given that they seem to have no impact on the playing arenas.
(Scratchin' ma haid....)
Free Lunch is a book by David Cay Johnston about how these Sports Team Owners and Corporations and Golf Courses get Free Money from the Federal Government.
- They say they are public Golf Course, but you have to fly in to get there
- They get the Government to put in parking Lots or help with the Cost of New Stadiums
- It is all corruption and manipulating the System
Maybe they claim special status like Foundation or Non-Profit or Public Non-Profit
- Gift Giving & Money in Politics, Lobbying, Campaign contributions is all you need to 'Loot" Tax Payers, then charge $40 or more for Tickets without the Parking Fee of $10 More
Jimmy Haslam owns the Browns now, he owns the Pilot gas stations which have a federal case for rebate fraud and his brother is the Governor of Tennessee. He is perfect for FIFA
No Sepp Blatter? Please.

This is a CLUSTERFUCK!
"How the hell does the DOJ have any jusrisdiction?"
It's part of Zion's fief, and the DC US is Zion's war dog and bitch.

youtube gaelic football... far more interesting/action-packed than either soccer or football, I guess maybe a combination of field hockey, soccer and rugby? There isn't tackling as such though... I've had Irish lads explain it to me more than once...still a bit fuzzy, but really is, like rugby, non-stop action. Or like hockey. Hockey, too, is more interesting than soccer.
Soccer fucking sucks, really.

Atlanta lost its bid for 2022 World Cup. That has really pissed off lots of people here. This move by DOJ is aimed at rewarding Atlanta. Fuck Yeah, America.
Indeed, no doubt all 7 people over the age of 12 who actually give a crap about soccer are really pissed of.
At least I now know why the DOJ doesn't have the resources to go after the criminal bankers: they are too busy looking into Soccergate - a scourge that is affecting untold handfuls (perhaps even a dozen) of fans.
Regular people don't count one way or the other.
The same folks, ie the same real estate developers, the same banking interest, and the same commercial interests that brought the summer Olympics to Atlanta after twenty six years nonstop efforts in 1996, are the people I'm talking about. They have committed more than $4 billion into the bid for the 2022 World Cup and they became very very pissed off when FIFA didn't honor their wishes.
They have brought blocks after blocks of downtown and Midtown Atlanta in anticipation of Hurricane profits after Atlanta's hosting 2022 game. They have done lots of beautification projects to enhance the city image. And some very large hedge funds are also investors in this bidding effort.
They won't swallow their humiliation and defeat so easily, of course. Here you go. FIFA fucks itself big time.
Last time I checked it is impossible to be bribed without someone on the other end OFFERING and PAYING the money.
Why do we not hear about any of the payors off the bribe being arrested? It is just as illegal to offer the bribe than to accept the bribe.
...
Oh yea - the payors would be GOVT OFFICIALS in many countries spanning decades of time. I doubt the bribes stop there - it likely goes from them down to the contractors who do the work on the roads, stadiums etc - they bribe the govt for the work.
FIFA = enrich themselves at the hands of complicit govt officials through bribes
GOVT OFFICIALS = enrich themselves at the hands of corrupt contractors through bribes
CONTRACTORS = enrich themselves through being awarded cushy no-bid contracts from the govt in return for "political donations" or outright bribes
Dont see much difference there ... the ultimate loser is the taxpayer.
God this is sooooooo funny. Probably name Corzine the new commissioner. Anybody check the inflation presssure on the soccer balls?
Before I heard the names I knew they'd all be vibrants.
Amazing that it's been done by the US DoJ. Maybe they were so busy with FIFA they hadn't time to look at WallStreet?
everyone knows real men play football.
everyone knows real men play football.
For one who thinks its USA behind it, to withdraw world cup from Russia ... you’re Right! ...
Only, no one called "The Khazarian mafia" that controls these decisions...
Why?!... Well my Human friend, Mr. Putin had to fight more than fifteen years; leave the Russian financial system clean of this plague of Psychopaths and Reptiles, called khazarian mafia ...
Now they go for it; (Putin and Russia)...
this about that world cup Russia
find somethings underhanded to pull that back
cos fear after Sochi greatest ever proved their best propaganda bs sabotages were fail in real
they go for broke now all fronts
So nice to see the US all upset abut corruption.
And about time too, I must add.
When that is said, WTF has US got to do with things in Switzerland??
But, while at it, go get Bush, both of them please, Clinton both of them, Obama, NFL, Wall Street, the FED, FBI, IRS, CIA, NSA, Banksters the fucking rotten core. While at it, Fogh Rasmussen, B-liar, Brown, Deutsche, Barclays, IMF, NATO ....the list just goes on and on!
THAT!! would be action speaking louder than words!
But, naaah, rather nail some small corrupt fish in cheese land, and cheese Russia a bit.
But, nevertheless, it is a start, now let's see it spread!!!
Rotten to the core, I'm afraid, all of it.
Ain't talkin' 'bout Love,
My Love is Rotten too the Core,

USA has a bad reputation, but doesn't admit the total harm to it's Financial Reputation after 2008 Financial Crisis.
Looks like the Toxic Derivatives were Socialized on to the FED's Balance Sheet, but no Apology to the world. Sneaking like FED Loans to Europe I think... to inflate the Supply of US Fiat.
US Govt = Heavy Metal Band
US Wall Street = Death Cult
I don't know which is funnier...
1) That it took them 24 years to figure out that FIFA was corrupt.
2) That the most blatantly corrupt are from Third World shitholes including socialist paragons Nicaragua and Venezuela.
3) That Loretta Lynch and Barack Obama are Jewish, according to the Heil Hitler brigade who find an evil Jewish plot in everything, including the crummy prize they get in their boxes of Cracker Jack.
4) That their infantile use of these silly childish code words they so dearly love can hide their basic Nazi natures from rational players in the great game of life. If you want to be a Nazi, friends, be a real Nazi and not some cowardly, snivelling back-stabber lurking in the darkness.
Now back to a thread filled with die grosse Lugen fom Naziland.
What a joke US government agencies have become.
To Bad we don't have Honest Brokers in DOJ, FBI, SEC, FINRA, FTC, GAO, CBO, FED, Treasury, OCC, FSOC, BCFP, CFTC, FDIC, FHFA, SIPC.
Maybe we just need more Agencies? Maybe if we hire more people for these agencies? S/
Simplify, Streamline, Standardize.
Hey Loretta Lynch, what are you going to do to simplify the System.
Racketeering, Wire Fraud, and Money Laundering... but Lynch can't be specific she has to dumb us all down.
-
""The indictment alleges corruption that is rampant, systemic, and deep-rooted both abroad and here in the United States," Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch said"
I was going to say aren't these all consensual crimes?
Just don't know what the specifics are.
Where as 2008 Crisis revealed the True dangers of Racketeering, Money & Gifts in Politics, Having no Term Limits, having Career Politicians, Letting Bankers Run the Country, Letting the Wealthy pollute the Countries Laws and Tax Codes, having no Regulation of Lawyers, Capture of Banking Regulators, dangers of nonstandard accounting and financial instruments.
Racketeering, Loretta Lynch?
Clean your own House if you want Respect. 2008-2015 with all the QE, LIRP & ZIRP... little effect on the Debt/Credit creation by wall Street & Clean Up of Practices. Start by Jailing FED & SEC perhaps. What about GAO have they been bought and paid for sure looks that way. What about IG in SEC & FED?
DOJ acts like extortionist gangster. Tell me something I don’t know.
Few facts:
Reminds me of Roman theater where if script called for death of main character he was actually killed on stage. Being celebrity back then was not as glamorous. But Romans were rational human beings what cannot be said about Washington DC psychopaths.
If only Congress was truly a vomitorium...
This FIFA joke makes me wonder what is going on that the media is hiding... Razzle Dazzle
So the lesson here is that FIFA bought the wrong US politicians.
In some years there will be separate international sports games for
- the ´west´
- and for the rest of the world.
Cannot get those fuckers to shut up otherwise.
hank Hill has it covered
