Fresh allegations surface about 2006 World Cup bidding

Fresh allegations that bribes were paid to help Germany secure the 2006 World Cup have surfaced with claims that a FIFA member from New Zealand was paid 250,000 US dollars on the eve of the vote.

Theo Zwanziger, the former head of the German FA, claims a Swiss court document bears out his belief that the late Charles Dempsey was paid off – Dempsey had been mandated to vote for South Africa but abstained and Germany won the vote 12-11.
