The scandal surround football’s governing body Fifa has reached fever pitch, with unpopular president Sepp Blatter performing a dramatic u-turn and announcing his resignation from the organisation.
The body has been caught up in legal actions over claims of corruption and bribery, with 18 senior executives being arrested last week to start intensive investigations across a number of countries and organisations.
Following the arrests ahead of last Friday’s presidential election, Brazilian Ricardo Teixeira has also been caught up in questioning over a missing $150 million from last summer’s World Cup, while long serving general secretary Jerome Valcke is also being investigated over accusations of bribery.
