NYT: “The number two of Blatter has transferred 10 million bribes” – The Republic

NEW YORK – A new piece in the puzzle of the scandal Fifa. And never as this time you approach the number one of the federation, Sepp Blatter. US authorities believe that the general secretary of FIFA, Jerome Valcke French, both the High Representative that would transfer $ 10 million from some accounts of FIFA with those of Jack Warner, the former vice president accused of having received bribes from South Africa for the World Cup in 2010. This was reported by the New York Times, citing sources close to the attorney general of New York. The possible involvement of Valcke will raise questions as to whether Sepp Blatter, FIFA’s number one, was unaware of the scandal. Valcke is in fact the number two and the manager after Blatter highest-ranking FIFA. At the moment it has not been formally investigated, with the New York Times has denied his involvement, stating that you have not authorized any payment and that he had the power to do so. Valcke also no stranger to controversy. The most recent dates back to FIFA’s decision to award Qatar the World Cup in 2022. In May 2011, Warner has published an email from Valcke, in which the latter claimed that Qatar had “bought” the World Cup. Valcke has since defended himself by saying that he had been misinterpreted.

Meanwhile, it became known that Valcke not attend the opening of the world of women’s football on Saturday in Canada, just because of the scandal that has engulfed the organization. Joseph Blatter – remember him – was re-elected Friday for a fifth consecutive term at the helm of FIFA two days after the arrest of seven officials accused of corruption. The leaders of UEFA, largely opposed to the re-election of Blatter, will be seen in Berlin on Saturday on the sidelines of the Champions League final. An extraordinary meeting to decide what their relationships hold in the future with FIFA.
