FIFA Corruption1 Scandal Is 'World Cup Of Fraud'

Thu, 28 May 15

The football world must consider its position on transparency and its attitude to corruption after 14 high ranking FIFA officials were arrested on charges of soliciting2 and accepting bribes3 going back 24 years. Jeffrey Webb, widely seen as a successor to FIFA president Sepp Blatter, was the most senior to be charged by the US authorities conducting the investigation4, and hails from the Cayman Islands. We speak to Paul Kennedy a journalist based on the islands who knew him, and to Transparency International, a pressure group taking a strong interest in FIFA. Fewer people in the world now go hungry compared to 25 years ago, according to the United Nation's latest Hunger Report, but 800 million people worldwide still do not have access to adequate food supplies. Could the mobile phone help those most in need? Peter Morici, Economist5 at the University of Maryland -who's in Washington, and David Moser Director of Chinese Studies at Beijing Capital Normal University in Beijing.
