welshbairn Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Have you bothered to read any of the articles or coverage in the online media? The US investigation relates to tournaments in America and South America. A former FIFA Vice-President (Jack Warner) and current Vice-President are among those arrested and are not minor officials. Eduardo Li who was due to join the FIFA Exec Committee on Friday has also been detained. Chuck Blazer, former FIFA Exec member and Head of Concacaf, is the insider who co-operated with the US authorities. Have you bothered to read any of the articles or coverage in the online media? The US investigation relates to tournaments in North, Central and South America. A former FIFA Vice-President (Jack Warner) and a current Vice-President are among those arrested. Eduardo Li who was due to join the FIFA Exec Committee on Friday has also been detained. Jeffrey Webb, Head of Concacaf was arrested too. Chuck Blazer, former FIFA Exec member and Head of Concacaf, is the insider who co-operated with the US authorities. He carried a wire tap in meetings and has already pleaded guilty. Hardly minor officials from Africa or Asia! There's no mention of Jack Warner being arrested as far as I can see. I'd have thought he'd stay well clear of Switzerland these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was testifying in court in Trinidad yesterday, not sure about today. http://www.guardian.co.tt/news/2015-05-26/warner-kept-quiet-about-corruption 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Briggs Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 The Swiss investigation into the World Cup awards to Russia and Qatar will hopefully bring down the rest of the corrupt fraudsters. "The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland (OAG) has opened criminal proceedings against persons unknown on suspicion of criminal mismanagement and of money laundering in connection with the allocation of the 2018 and 2022 Football World Cups. In the course of said proceedings, electronic data and documents were seized today at FIFA’s head office in Zurich. "Today, on Wednesday 27 May 2015, the OAG has seized data and documents stored in IT systems at the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) as part of a so-called “collection of evidence on cooperative basis”. That means that the party in possession of the data – in this case, FIFA – delivers the requested data to law enforcement authorities, or gives assistance in securing the data, thus facilitating an efficient and swift procedure. The collection of relevant bank documents had already been ordered beforehand at various financial institutes in Switzerland. The files seized today and the collected bank documents will serve criminal proceedings both in Switzerland and abroad." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Americans will try to get Warner arrested and extradited too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyerTon Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) What's the extradition rules in Europe, for instance a French citizen in France can't be extradited by the Yanks but a British citizen in Britain can? Is it only France or other countries that has this law in Europe? In case of serious crimes, a French person would be tried in France and serve the sentence in France rather than getting deported to USA (provided they are in France at the time) Edited May 27, 2015 by FlyerTon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
