Is FIFA Soccer Scandal "made in USA", real, or "just business as usual"?
While Americans don't expect to see much soccer (Football) news, the recent FIFA Soccer Scandal would almost seem to indicate corruption and organized criminal activity beyond comprehension. Why is the US Government so intense about investigating this?
Is it real? Is it political posturing? Is it a total fabrication?
We can't entirely trust the 10 second sound bites that many call "journalism" here in the US. What is the Europe perspective about this?
The most blatant quote was chosen to quote below. There are other journalist that strongly imply the same. Then of course, the rest pretty much hand down the same official news reports from the same source.
Was the INTERPOL corruption the reason the US FBI was involved in a Swiss organization?
Here are a few quotes from a US journalist about FIFA that doesn't mince words:
Last Monday POLITICO ran a story about FIFA and its interesting relationships with INTERPOL -
http://www.politico.eu/article/fifa-funded-interpol-policing/
"Interpol’s deal with FIFA is just the tip of a fiscal iceberg. Since 2011, Interpol has signed deals with a large number of private “partners,” including tobacco giants, pharmaceutical firms and tech companies — such as Philip Morris International, Sanofi, and Kaspersky Lab — the proceeds of which have swollen its operational budget by almost a third."
Is FIFA corruption real? Is it overblown? Why is the US so involved with the FBI and government agencies?
