So we are hearing about "bribery, corruption and profiteering " by certain individuals, no doubt the forensic money tracing will identify not only the recipient of the money
but also the source. So if that source turned out to from be a country where this sort of thing is not only routine but expected, what should be done about that country?
Should they be banned from entering International tournaments?
How about if it was a country like Brazil (I am not suggesting for one minute that they are involved) former winners etc ban them or what?

It's a difficult one. Look at South Africa. They paid, sorry, 'donated' $10m to CONCAF, to fund some sort of 'legacy project', but the money went directly into Jack Warner's account. It could be argued that SA didn't know what happened to the money after they 'donated' it ? Yes, it was a sweetener payment, yes it bought his vote, but to actually prove that in a court of law could be difficult.

That may well prove to be the case, but I doubt it. With the combined weight of the US Department of Justice and the FBI behind the investigation I doubt that many will escape scrutiny.
I think that the ace in their pack will be the pressure that they are able to exert over past FIFA sponsors (and in particular American companies), oh and the ''squeelers'' within FIFA itself.

Jack Warner has stated he has "mountains" of evidence of corruptions. If that's the case then he is as guilty as the rest for knowing about it and doing nothing. |
