[h=3]2015 corruption case[edit][/h]Main article: 2015 FIFA corruption case
Allegations of vote buying in the 2011 FIFA presidential election were included in the 2015 FIFA corruption case, which led to the arrests of fourteen FIFA and FIFA-related officials on 27 May 2015. These incitements were brought by the U.S. Department of Justice, as U.S. banks are alleged to have been used for money laundering and bribery.[SUP][24][/SUP][SUP][25][/SUP]

[h=2]Ethics committee[edit][/h]An ethics committee took place on 29 May following allegations against FIFA vice-president Jack Warner, FIFA Executive Committee member Mohammed bin Hammam, as well as Caribbean Football Union (CFU) officials Debbie Minguell and Jason Sylvester.[SUP][26][/SUP]
The inquiry was launched after FIFA Executive Committee member Chuck Blazer reported to FIFA secretary general Jérôme Valcke that Bin Hammam had offered $40,000 of bribes to members of the Caribbean Football Union at a meeting organised by Warner from 10 to 11 May CFU officials Minguell and Sylvester were alleged to have witnessed the transaction. The vice-president of the Bahamas Football Association later produced photographic evidence of the alleged $40,000 bribe.[SUP][27][/SUP] In a submission Hammam admitted that he had borne the costs of travel and accommodation for the 25 members of the CFU, at a cost of $350,000.[SUP][27][/SUP]
Bin Hammam said of the allegations that "It is quite obvious that, following previous failed attempts, this is part of a final effort to prevent...(Bin Hammam) from running for the FIFA presidency."[SUP][26][/SUP] Bin Hammam also said that Blatter should be investigated on grounds that he knew of alleged bribe attempts and did nothing about it. It was announced by the committee that Blatter will not face an investigation due to lack of evidence.[SUP][28][/SUP]
Announcing the outcome of the bribery inquiry, deputy chairman of the committee Petrus Damaseb said that FIFA will open a "full-blown" investigation into allegations that Bin Hammam and Warner offered financial incentives to members of the CFU and provisionally suspended them from all football activity.
The committee also announced that the FA had cleared FIFA members Ricardo Teixeira and Worawi Makudi of allegations of bribery made by Lord Triesman relating toEngland's failed 2018 World Cup bid.[SUP][28][/SUP] The FA report into the allegations was published online on 30 May.[SUP][29][/SUP]
[h=3]Aftermath[edit][/h]Bin Hammam's reactionReacting to the committees decision, Bin Hammam said that he would appeal against their decision to provisionally ban him from football related activity, saying that "The way these proceedings have been conducted is not compliant with any principles of justice."[SUP][30][/SUP] He also issued a statement calling for his reinstatement as well as responding to the claims in detail.[SUP][31][/SUP] Because of his suspension Bin Hammam was temporarily replaced as AFC by his deputy Zhang Jilong. Bin Hammam was later denied entry to the congress after being unable to file an appeal against his suspension in time.[SUP][32][/SUP]
Warner's reactionAs part of his suspension from football related activity Warner was suspended from the presidency of CONCACAF. Warner had warned on 28 May that FIFA faced a "football tsunami" in the next couple of days, "that will hit FIFA and the world that will shock you...The time has come when I must stop playing dead so you'll see it, it's coming, trust me. You'll see it by now and Monday...I have been here for 29 consecutive years and if the worst happens, the worst happens." He also said that he was not guilty of a "single iota of wrongdoing".[SUP][33][/SUP] On the 30th Warner disclosed the contents of an email that he had been sent by Jérôme Valcke in which Valcke discussed Bin Hammam's presidential campaign and appeared to accuse Qatar of "buying" the World Cup. Qatar were successful in their bid to host the 2022 World Cup. Valcke wrote "For MBH (Bin Hammam), 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 (Blatter). Or he thought you can buy FIFA as they (Qatar) bought the WC (World Cup)." Valcke confirmed the email and said that it had been selectively quoted.[SUP][34][/SUP] Valcke later commented that "When I refer to the 2022 World Cup in that email, what I wanted to say is that the winning bid used their financial strength to lobby for support...I have at no time made, or was intending to make, any reference to any purchase of votes or similar unethical behaviour."[SUP][22][/SUP] Qatar denied any wrongdoing and said that they were taking legal advice to consider their options.[SUP][34][/SUP] Bin Hammam responded to Valcke's allegations by saying "I don't know why he has said that...If I was paying money for Qatar you also have to ask the 13 people who voted for Qatar."[SUP][35][/SUP]
In the email Valcke added that it would be the 'coup de grace' if Warner were to announce his support for Blatter in the election. Warner refused to offer his support as president of CONCACAF.[SUP][34][/SUP] Warner also accused Blatter of recently using FIFA funds for political gain. Warner stated that at the Miami CONCACAF congress on 3 May Blatter made a gift of $1m to CONCACAF to "spend as it deems fit".[SUP][34][/SUP] Warner claimed this annoyed the President of UEFA Michel Platini who then approached Valcke complaining that Blatter had no permission from the finance committee to make this gift. Valcke replied that he would find the money for Blatter.[SUP][34][/SUP] Warner later urged the members of CONCACAF to support Blatter, as they had previously agreed to do. He also asked CONCACAF members not to protest the election on 1 June.[SUP][36][/SUP] Warner was reported by Blazer to Valcke for these activities on 31 May, as they violate the terms of his suspension by the ethics committee.[SUP][36][/SUP]
Other reactionsThe President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Jacques Rogge said that the IOC had gone through similar problems during the 2002 Winter Olympic bid scandal. Rogge said that "The IOC ultimately emerged a stronger organisation...Our past calls for humility, and I will definitely not point the finger or lecture you. I'm sure Fifa can emerge stronger, and from within."[SUP][23][/SUP]
FIFA's sponsors voiced their concern at the corruption allegations. Coca-Cola described the allegations as "distressing and bad for the sport", Adidas said the "negative tenor of the public debate around FIFA at the moment is neither good for football nor for FIFA and its partners".[SUP][37][/SUP] Emirates said they were "disappointed"[SUP][38][/SUP] and Visa Inc. said that the "current situation is not good for the game"[SUP][39][/SUP]
Australian senator Nick Xenophon demanded that FIFA "refunds" the money the country spent on their unsuccessful bid for the 2022 World Cup, following the corruption allegations. Xenophon said that "It appears corrupt and highly questionable behavior goes to the core of FIFA...Australia spent almost $46 million on a bid we were never in the running for because bribes were being taken for votes. Now we hear that bribes may have been made to fix the result for who will head up FIFA."[SUP][40][/SUP]
The President of the German Football Association, Theo Zwanziger called for an investigation into the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup bid. Zwanziger said that "There is a considerable degree of suspicion that one cannot sweep aside...If FIFA behaves the way people expect, that is by clearly taking action against this cancerous tumour of bribery, then there is no need for these concerns...There is no end to the suspicions falling on members of the FIFA executive".[SUP][41][/SUP]

UPDATE: The Associated Press is reporting long-time FIFA president Sepp Blatter is resigning amid the sport organization's corruption scandal. Blatter was re-elected as president for his fifth term last Friday, the same week the U.S. Justice Department issued a 47-count indictment against FIFA for charges of wire fraud, money laundering, and racketeering. In a news conference announcing his resignation, Blatter admitted, "FIFA needs a profound restructuring." Elections for a new president will reportedly taking place sometime between December and March.

Blatter was not among the nine current and former FIFA employees, including executive committee members Jeffrey Webb and Jack Warner, targeted with various corruption-related charges. The U.S. Justice Department alleges the FIFA officials, along with five third-party marketing executives, accepted more than $150 million in bribes and kickbacks in exchange for preferential treatment on the sale of media, television and hosting rights related to FIFA events.
This week's arrests, carried out in a coordinated effort between Swiss and U.S. authorities, were unprecedented in FIFA's history. But rumors of corruption and backroom deals have blighted the organization's reputation for years.

Blatter won despite the fact that the vast majority of the Union of European Football Association's members decided to support Prince Ali. But his power has never come from Europe. Instead, Blatter has earned the rabid support of nations within the Asian Football Confederation and the Confederation of African Football, which account for 100 of FIFA's 209 member associations.
Each member association casts a single vote of equal weight in FIFA's presidential election, which means that a country like England, while comparatively a soccer and global juggernaut, has the same voting power as a smaller nation like Zambia. Blatter has secured the loyalty of these smaller nations by funneling money to them earmarked for soccer development, as Deadspin notes. An amount of FIFA funding that would be inconsequential for a developed European nation can be a game changer for a smaller country.
Soccer programs in these smaller nations tend to place just a few officials in positions of power, making them that much more vulnerable to bribery, Five Thirty-Eight notes. FIFA has rejected calls for increased transparency or independent oversight at every turn, which has also exacerbated its public relations problem.
"You need to have a lot of independent support and authority brought in, just like you do with corporations," Thinnes said. "Audit committees typically are the final arbiters of compliance and anticorruption inside global corporations. Those are usually comprised of external, ‘non-influenceable' individuals who understand the issues. ... That's clearly missing inside FIFA."
Under Blatter, FIFA has made a show of reforming its practices, without actually following through. Of 59 recommendations for reform made through three separate reports, FIFA fully implemented just seven, the Los Angeles Times reports.

THE BEAUTIFUL GAME 6:43 PM MAY 27, 2015
[h=1]How FIFA's Structure Lends Itself To Corruption[/h]By CARL BIALIK

The U.S. Justice Department says the indictments it handed down Wednesday against soccer officials and sports-marketing executives are just the beginning of its efforts to root out corruption in the sport. A comprehensive investigation might find that the sport's structure itself makes soccer vulnerable to corruption. FIFA disproportionately favors its smaller states, leaving the most corruptible members with outsize control over the organization.
FIFA has 209 member-nations, and each one's soccer association is equally powerful in the sport's governing body. Every member, from China (population: 1.36 billion) to tiny Montserrat (population: 5,215), gets one vote in the FIFA Congress. That means each one gets to cast a vote in the FIFA presidential election scheduled for this Friday in Zurich. And each one - from Brazil (five men's World Cup wins, one of the world's best women's teams) to, well, let's stick to Montserrat (men's team never ranked higher than No. 165, women's team unranked) - will get equal say in choosing hosts of future World Cups.
That wasn't always the case. In 2010, the FIFA executive committee voted to select which countries would host the 2018 and 2022 men's World Cup tournaments. That meant just 22 people participated in a controversial balloting that, astonishingly, awarded the 2022 tournament to Qatar, a nation with scant soccer history that doesn't have soccer-suitable summer weather, bans same-sex sexual activity and has a poor record of worker safety and rights. (On Wednesday, Switzerland's attorney general's officesaid it had opened criminal proceedings around the selection of the 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosts.)
In 2011, FIFA changed its voting rules. In future host selections, each member-association will get one vote. Multiplying the number of voters by nearly 10 should diminish the impact of any one corrupt vote.
The "one member, one vote" principle could, in theory, be a way for FIFA to protect its smallest members, much as the creators of the U.S. Senate intended in giving the smallest state the same number of senators as the biggest one. "Please note that the ‘one member one vote' system was established since the foundation of FIFA and it relates to a democratic principle," a FIFA spokesperson said by email in response to my inquiry.
In practice, this is one unequal form of democracy. While California has 66 times the population of the smallest U.S. states, there are more than 250,000 times the number of people living in China as in Montserrat.
This isn't only a theoretical problem of inequity. Soccer power in smaller nations concentrates itself in fewer officials and stakeholders. That makes the nations' votes - votes that occur in secret FIFA ballots - more vulnerable to corruption from bribery. In the indictments Wednesday, the Justice Department alleged, among other charges, that voters took bribes in both the selection of the 2010 men's World Cup and the 2011 FIFA presidential election. Among those indicted was Jeffrey Webb, president of the football association of the Cayman Islands (population: 58,435).
But bribes aren't the only thing that might influence those smaller nations. It's aboveboard money, too. A small amount of funding from FIFA will go much further in a tiny island territory than in a superpower.
"If the organization had a stronger reputation for integrity, this might not matter so much," Robin Hodess, group director of advocacy and research for the anti-corruption group Transparency International, said about FIFA's voting structure. "This is a difficult issue to solve - you want democratic organizations, but you don't want that to be abused," Hodess said.
It didn't help when FIFA's president, Sepp Blatter, announced higher World Cup bonuses for member-associations last year at the same time that he was signaling his intention to seek re-election, reneging on an earlier promise not to run again. "The link between who holds the purse strings and who votes was very blatant," Hodess said.
On FIFA's website, the organization posts specific funding information, by member, for two programs: Goal, for projects such as building new fields or association headquarters, and the Financial Assistance Program (FAP), which funds a wide range of projects. My colleague Paul Schreiber helped me pull the data for every active Goal project and for FAP payments from 2010 to 2014. I then cross-referenced the funding numbers with population and per-capita GDP figures to see whether bigger countries, or the poorer ones that we'd expect to need more funding, would get more help from FIFA.[SUP]1[/SUP]
Whether a member state is big or small doesn't seem to matter - FIFA spending isn't tied to the number of people covered by the association. There was no correlation between a member's population[SUP]2[/SUP] and the budget of active Goal projects. And there was a slight negative correlation between FAP spending and population - partly because the populous countries of China and Nigeria got less than average.[SUP]3[/SUP] Take, for example, the combinedbudget for the active Goal projects in Montserrat ($1.8 million)[SUP]4[/SUP] and compare it with that of projects in China ($3 million). Or the amount of FAP funds that the West Indies island received, $2.05 million, versus the amount China received, $800,000.
That's not to say that members should necessarily get funds in proportion to their populations. The size of a country's economy also affects its needs. But that doesn't appear to enter into FIFA's calculations, either. There is essentially no correlation between GDP per capita and Goal or FAP funding per capita.[SUP]5[/SUP]
Funding is almost as evenly spread among FIFA members as voting power is. More than 90 percent of associations received between $1.8 million and $2.1 million from FAP between 2010 and 2014. Goal spending isn't quite as flat, but 71 percent of members' active projects have total budgets between $1 million and $3 million.
These aren't bribes, and this isn't traditional corruption: They're totally legal, publicly disclosed funding projects. It's just that a lot of them are in tiny countries with impotent soccer federations that spend it in dubious ways enriching their officials.
"It's pure pork--barrel politics," Bloomberg wrote in an investigation of FIFA's finances last month. Bloomberg's article ends by describing Blatter and other FIFA presidential candidates[SUP]6[/SUP] as they made their pitch to member-nations. Each one stressed expanding payments to member-associations - by the same amount to each member.
