FIFA President Sepp Blatter’s announcement that he would step down from his role as the most powerful man in soccer, reignited worldwide calls for reform from inside and outside of the organization which had become engulfed in scandal and a growing investigation.
Federal law enforcement officials revealed Tuesday that Blatter had emerged as the leading “target” in a widening criminal scandal investigation underway by FBI agents and federal prosecutors in New York.
Rumors have it that Blatter has become the latest top subject of this country’s criminal probe into allegations that leaders of soccer’s world governing body accepted bribes in return for supporting specific countries seeking to play host to the highly lucrative World Cup.
Sepp Blatter will step down as head of world soccer’s governing body but only after the organization’s executive committee organizes a fresh vote “for the election of my successor,” he said Tuesday.
