observer Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Interesting aspect to this: the investigation and prosecution is being led by the FBI, and events will presumably pan out in US courts. Does this mean that the US is truly the world's policeman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fugtifino Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 FIFA made the mistake of channelling some of their dirty money through US banks, then there's the Chuck Blazer affair. Broadcast before the last World Cup, here's John Oliver on FIFA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlJEt2KU33I&feature=player_embedded Sorry obs, just noticed your thread on this, thought it was one of your usual!

Davy51 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 It always amazes me that the US can extradite villains more or less at will but let any other country try & snatch a US citizen for criminal activity & the shutters are down. I wonder if FIFA has a fast track link to the Euro gravy train if Giuseppe should catch a stray bullet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, Beaky, I'm fully expecting old Joe to mount the "Ernest Saunders" defence line any time now. Of course, he'll be fully recovered in time for his re-election. Baz - I'm sure the men in black are preparing their case against yougov.com as we speak. Like obs though, I'm not sure I want to put my faith in teh foreign spookies....
