Former world governing body boss awarded CFU rights to 2 World Cups for way below market price. FMTNews
LAUSANNE: A police report obtained by AFP on Wednesday showed that suspicions of impropriety against fallen Fifa boss Sepp Blatter over a controversial TV deal “were well-founded” despite Swiss prosecutors dropping the case.
The deal had granted television rights for the 2010 and 2014 World Cups to the CFU for US$600,000, an amount deemed to be significantly below market price. “By failing to assert a claim by Fifa against the CFU when he found out about it, Blatter accepted that Warner would therefore illegally enrich himself at the expense of Fifa,” added the investigators.
However, the Swiss attorney-general’s office confirmed earlier this month that they did not intend to prosecute 84-year-old Blatter for granting television rights to the CFU.
