Switzerland seek Fifa arrests!

I'm resigned to the fact that Blatter will never truly get his comeuppance :mad:[FONT=arial, sans-serif][/FONT]
 
So happy to see Platini get his orders as well - he has been a proper snake
 
The German FA has now been raided on suspicion of tax evasion as 6.7m euro's (£4.9m) that was paid to FIFA in 2005 after receiving the vote 5 years prior to host the world cup in 2006 was not declared! By all accounts it was a secret slush fund to secure votes!

I would think all these large movements of money are popping up due to all the investigations they are doing elsewhere and will naturally bring other countries into the spotlight, I'd love nothing less than to see Germany dragged into the buying votes scandals and to see that smirk wiped off Merkels face :smirk:

I suspect if you investigated any of the world cups since Blatter has been in charge you will eventually find a cesspit of corruption and backhanders. After a while it probably became the natural way of operating and securing a world cup for your country. And it will will probably continue to some extent if they continue with the current set up. Wasn't one of the 7 candidates to replace Blatter given a 6 month ban from anything football related in 2013? It kind of highlights how screwed up FIFA is that in the current climate someone like that can stand for election to run it.

They need to get someone external in to run the whole thing, but I doubt that will never happen as too many people in FIFA will fall off the gravy train then.
 
Don't expect him to stage trial or even face any jail time - will be under "house arrest"
