Chuck Blazer, the soccer official who turned into a federal informant and became a central figure in the 2015 FIFA corruption scandal, might not be done revealing secrets.
Blazer, a member of FIFA’s governing council for nearly two decades, secretly cooperated with United States authorities for years before the Department of Justice shocked the soccer world with its sweeping indictment of dozens of soccer leaders and marketing executives in May 2015. Blazer died in 2017, before he could be sentenced for his crimes.
He died owing millions to creditors, including the Internal Revenue Service and his former employer, the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football, one of soccer’s six regional governing bodies.
