FIFA facing new controversy

FIFA are facing allegations of impropriety involving a senior figure for the third time this year after South American federation president Nicolas Leoz was alleged to have received inducements relating to television rights.

The 78-year-old has been named as having received two payments totalling £90,000 (€134,125) in a report by Swiss magistrates investigating the collapse of FIFA’s former marketing partner ISMM/ISL, according to The Guardian newspaper.
