Blatter set to face the music as scandal-hit FIFA call emergency meeting

By Sportsmail Reporter

Last updated at 9:54 AM on 30th May 2011

Troubled FIFA will hold an emergency executive meeting this afternoon as under-fire president Sepp Blatter prepares to face the media.

Football's governing body is in crisis with Blatter poised to run unopposed for a fourth time on Wednesday after Mohamed Bin Hammam was suspended.

Jack Warner, also suspended, hit out at Blatter, claiming the president 'must be stopped', and branding his suspension as the 'worst form of justice'. Warner is consulting his lawyers over the legality of his FIFA ban.

FIFA's executive committee will meet at 1pm on Monday with Blatter in line to face the world's press at 5pm.

An ethics committee provisionally suspended vice-presidents Bin Hammam and Warner over serious corruption allegations but cleared Blatter of any wrongdoing, allowing him to go forward to the FIFA Congress ballot.

The only obstacle to the most inappropriate coronation in FIFA history is the highly unlikely event of three-quarters of the 208 delegates from around the globe deciding the election should not go ahead .

Bin Hammam, who withdrew his challenge on Saturday night, has been banned from all football activity pending a full investigation into the charges from his FIFA ExCo colleague Chuck Blazer that Caribbean Football Union officials received 40,000 dollars in bundles of cash for votes at a Trinidad meeting organised by the Asian Football chief and CONCACAF boss Warner.

Warner, the arch rogue in the FIFA gallery who had previously swerved numerous accusations of wrongdoing, has also been given the same suspended sentence.

And FIFA will bring forensic investigators to aid their extended ethics committee probe before a full-scale hearing expected in July, the outcome of which may decide whether the United States then launch an appeal over Bin Hammam's Qatar being awarded the 2022 World Cup, a decision still embroiled in further bribery and corruption allegations.

An Australian senator has urged the federal government to ask for a refund from FIFA of the $46million (£30m) spent on the failed bid to host the 2022 World Cup, saying the bid could not succeed because of corruption within football's world governing body.

Independent Senator Nick Xenophon released a statement on Monday, under the heading 'Red Card for FIFA,' saying 'not one more cent' should be spent on any further World Cup bids until the corruption scandal is resolved.

Former FA chief David Triesman had alleged several FIFA executive committee members sought inducements in return for their votes during the concurrent bidding processes for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

FIFA is currently assessing those claims. Hammam, president of the Asian Football Confederation, was instrumental in delivering the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, but had denied there was any wrongdoing in connection with the bid.

'The fact that corruption appears to be so pervasive in FIFA makes you wonder whether we should continue to invest millions of dollars in bids for events we'll never even be in the running to win,'

Senator Xenophon said. 'Until the investigation into FIFA has been completed, Australia must hold off spending any more taxpayers' money on any future World Cup bids.'

wonder if he will get the mary king treatment?

[crash dummy]

This is bacchanal at its best. I will be following this one closely. For those who know Jack controls majority of votes for choosing FIFA president (CONCACAF etc etc)
It seems that Blatter was not his candidate of choice this rounds but he didnt take it lying down. He fought back, rallying the ousted US etc etc (on many different levels other than football by Jack). Now for all the money/influence Jack has i want to see how he will fare against the US et al. Prob will try to cut a deal at this late stage EPIC

FIFA bribery scandal - The evidence

Press Association Sport has obtained a picture of the money which a Caribbean football official says he was offered following a presentation by FIFA presidential candidate Mohamed Bin Hammam.

The money, as the picture clearly shows, was delivered in a brown envelope with the name of the Bahamas FA on it. Inside the envelope was 40,000 US dollars in crisp, new 100-dollar bills - four packs each of 10,000 dollars.

The date was May 10, the place the Hyatt Regency hotel in Trinidad where the members of the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) had been invited to a special meeting to listen to FIFA presidential candidate Bin Hammam present his manifesto.

Afterwards, the 25 associations - whose flights and hotel costs for two officials each were being covered by Bin Hammam - were asked to attend a conference room to pick up "a gift", according to an affidavit sent to FIFA's ethics committee.

Fred Lunn, the vice-president of the Bahamas FA, was one of the first to go up to the room where he was handed a large brown envelope. When he opened it "stacks of US$100 fell out and on to the table. I was stunned to see this cash," he said in an affidavit which was presented to FIFA's ethics committee on Sunday.

Lunn said he was not authorised to accept such a gift but was urged to do so by a CFU official. He decided to hold on to the money and contact his association's president Anton Sealey, which he did by text message.

Copies of these text messages were also sent to the ethics committee which on Sunday suspended Bin Hammam and FIFA vice-president Jack Warner pending a full inquiry. CFU officials Debbie Minguell and Jason Sylvester have also been suspended. Sealey then called Lunn and told him "under no circumstances would the Bahamas FA accept such a cash gift" and that he should return the 40,000 dollars.

Lunn took a picture of the money before he replaced it in the envelope, and when he returned to the conference room to hand it back he had to wait while other officials queued to go in. The following morning, May 11, Lunn attended a meeting where delegates were addressed by Warner, who is also the head of the CFU."Mr Warner stated that he had instructed Mr Bin Hammam to bring the cash equivalent of any gift he had intended to bring for the people attending this meeting," said Mr Lunn in his affidavit. "Mr Warner then stated that the money could be used for any purpose... for grassroots programs or any purpose the individuals saw fit."

By then Sealey had informed Chuck Blazer, the United States' FIFA member and confederation general secretary, who spoke to Lunn and then raised the matter with FIFA's secretary general Jerome Valcke, who in turn asked him to prepare a report.

The bacchanal continues and the screw tightens in Jack's coffin:

Does this envelope stuffed full of dollars prove Qatar tried to buy presidency? New claims in Fifa bribery scandal

By Colin Fernandez

Last updated at 12:20 AM on 31st May 2011


International football is facing its most damaging corruption scandal after pictures emerged of an envelope full of cash allegedly used to influence Fifa’s presidential election.

Officials from 25 Caribbean associations were said to have each been offered a $40,000 (£24,000) bribe three weeks ago to vote for Mohamed Bin Hammam from Qatar.

At the same time, an email was revealed in which a leading Fifa official hinted that Qatar had ‘bought’ the right to stage the 2022 World Cup.


Handed back: The cash which fell out of an envelope marked 'Bahamas'

If the allegations are proven it raises the possibility that the Arab emirate could lose the right to host the competition and there would have to be a ‘re-vote’.

Fifa’s president Sepp Blatter, 75, conceded at a news conference that the organisation’s image had suffered ‘great damage’ but refused to step down and added: ‘We are not in a crisis. We are only in some difficulties which will be solved within our family.’

Blatter will now stand unopposed at the presidential election tomorrow – which critics say should be postponed.

His only challenger, Bin Hammam, withdrew his candidacy hours before he was suspended by Fifa’s ethics committee over the bribery allegations along with another executive committee member, Jack Warner of Trinidad, and two other Caribbean officials.

The pictures of $40,000 in cash were taken by Fred Lunn, vice-president of the Bahamas FA, who attended a special meeting with other members of the Caribbean Football Union on May 10 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Trinidad.

According to his affidavit, the 25 football associations had been asked to attend a conference room to pick up a ‘gift’.

He said he was handed a large brown envelope. When he opened it ‘stacks of $100 bills fell out on to the table. I was stunned to see this cash’.

Lunn said he was not authorised to accept such a gift but was urged to do so by a CFU official.

He texted his association’s president Anton Sealey to say that several representatives had accepted the cash.

Sealey called him and said that ‘under no circumstances would the Bahamas FA take such a cash gift’ and he should return it.

Lunn took a picture of the money before he replaced it in the envelope and returned to the conference room to hand it back.

The email which apparently suggested Qatar had bought the World Cup was sent to Jack Warner by Fifa’s secretary-general Jerome Valcke, a Frenchman.

The message, made public by Warner yesterday, alluded to Bin Hammam’s bid for the Fifa presidency and referred to him by his initials.
'When I refer to the 2022 Fifa World Cup in that email, what I wanted to say is that the winning bid used their financial strength to lobby for support'

According to Warner, the email said: ‘For MBH, I never understood why he was running.

‘If really he thought he had a chance or just being an extreme way to express how much he does not like anymore JSB [Joseph Sepp Blatter]. Or he thought you can buy Fifa as they bought the WC [World Cup].

’Valcke confirmed he sent the email to Warner but said he had not meant to suggest ‘unethical’ behaviour.

‘When I refer to the 2022 Fifa World Cup in that email, what I wanted to say is that the winning bid used their financial strength to lobby for support.’

Qatar’s winning bid, announced in December, was hugely controversial. Temperatures there reach 50c (122f) in summer when the tournament will be staged.

The organisers plan to get round this by using solar-powered air conditioning at the stadiums.

They denied that they ‘bought’ the right to stage the tournament and said they were ‘taking legal advice to consider our options’.

At yesterday’s news conference, Sepp Blatter ruled out action against four Fifa executive committee members accused during a British parliamentary hearing this month of corruption relating to England’s bid to host the 2018 World Cup.

Fifa had received a report from Lord Triesman of the FA concerning the allegations against Jack Warner, Ricardo Teixeira of Brazil, Nicolas Leoz of Paraguay and Worawi Makudi of Thailand. But it decided there was no case to answer.

Labour MP Tom Watson suggested that the FA should now try to recoup the costs of its failed bid, while Tory MP Therese Coffey called for tomorrow’s Fifa presidential election to be suspended while corruption claims are investigated.

The reek of bribery swirling around Fifa’s Zurich HQ was condemned yesterday by two of international football’s biggest sponsors.

Ominously for Blatter and his supporters, Coca-Cola and Adidas warned that the allegations were damaging the sport ‘and its partners’.
