In a 22-page submission to the US Department of Justice, Fifa are now looking at recovering over $100 million.
In Fifa’s submission under the heading ‘Defendants, Warner and Blazer’s $10 Million 2010 FIFA World CupTM Vote Scheme’, they say that it’s apparent that a number off officials abused their positions and that Jack Warner and Chuck Blazer engineered a scheme for a $10 million pay-off in exchange for votes for the tournament.
They say that came about after a long established relationship harking back to their backing of the country in the 2006 vote.
They say that Warner’s son, Daryan, had benefitted by organising a series of friendly matches against CONCACAF nations played in South Africa as well but that he also traveling to a hotel in Paris to receive a briefcase with $10,000 in cash from a high-ranking South African bid committee official and immediately returned to Trinidad and Tobago to give it to Defendant Warner.
