#US Wants #Russia ’s Status as #WorldCup2018 Host Rescinded
A separate article discussed US Justice Department indictments against 14 current and former FIFA officials.
Blatter wasn’t named but isn’t
out of the woods. US prosecutors indicated what’s announced isn’t “the
final chapter. It is not over,” they said.
FBI Director James Comey indicated “work will continue until all of
the corruption is uncovered and a message is sent around the world.”
Swiss Attorney General spokesman Andre Marty said Blatter “could be
questioned. (E)very person involved in the allocation of the World Cups
might be questioned.”
What’s going on appears more
than what meets the eye. US officials want Russia’s status as World Cup
2018 host country rescinded.
Israel wants Palestinian efforts to suspend it from FIFA competition
quashed – because of unacceptable abuses committed against its
footballers.
