What Just Released Court Transcripts Reveal About FIFA Corruption
Photo by Alexandre Schneider/GettyCourt transcripts containing testimony from three high-profile defendants in the FIFA corruption investigation were released to the public by a US judge yesterday.
The transcripts quoted Jeffrey Webb, a former FIFA vice president and CONCACAF president; Alejandro Burzaco, an Argentine sports marketing executive; and José Margulies, a naturalized Brazilian businessman who is said to have acted as an intermediary. All three pled guilty to charges of racketeering, money laundering, and wire fraud.
All three men expressed regret as they acknowledged that they accepted bribes while negotiating commercial and broadcast rights for various soccer matches and tournaments, from World Cup qualifiers to the upcoming Copa América Centenario.
