Do you smell that, readers? Contrary to what you might think, it is not in fact, the smell of delicious Thanksgiving leftovers. Believe me, it’s something entirely less wholesome, because that’s the stench of corruption.
If you didn’t know, there are currently three former South American soccer executives on trial in New York City. They are accused of involvement in a 24-year scheme wherein no less than $150 million worth of bribes changed hands to facilitate the awarding of both broadcasting and hosting rights for South American soccer tournaments. Needless to say, its been quite the affair, with around 40 other executives, officials, and businesses charged with committing some sort of crime.
