Blatter vows action on World Cup bribery claims

ENGLAND’S Football Association will send a full dossier of the latest allegations of World Cup bidding corruption to FIFA as the world governing body’s president Sepp Blatter promised swift action to deal with the new claims.

FA general secretary Alex Horne yesterday wrote to FIFA enclosing some of the evidence provided to Tuesday’s British parliamentary select committee and promising to provide the rest as soon as possible.

Two FIFA executive committee (ExCo) members were on Tuesday accused in the committee of being paid $1.5m (€1.05m) to vote for Qatar’s 2022 World Cup bid.
