FIFA’s chairman of audit and compliance, has resigned, because FIFA’s top officials on Friday passed a measure that allows them to fire auditing, finance, and ethics officers at will.

Domenico Scala, a Swiss businessman, quit once the FIFA Council voted 186-1 to adopt the power to dismiss the watchdogs who keep the governing body for world soccer from devolving into a naked criminal syndicate. Following the vote at FIFA’s annual conference in Mexico City, Scala resigned from the Audit & Compliance Committee. It’s seen as an affront to new FIFA president Gianni Infantino, who otherwise emerged from the conference with a nigh-dictatorial hold on the organization.

In his resignation statement, Scala said the measure makes it possible “for the Council to impede investigations against single members at any time, by dismissing the responsible Committee members or by keeping them acquiescent through the threat of a dismissal. Thereby, those bodies are factually deprived of their independence and are in danger of becoming auxiliary agents of those whom they should actually supervise.”

FIFA, in response, issued a statement saying that it “regrets” that Scala “misinterpreted” the purpose of the measure.

Beckenbauer's been my favourite footballer ever since he won the WC and European Cup in 74 when I was living in Germany

Juan Ángel Napout, former FIFA Vice President, has just been handed a 9 year prison sentence in Brooklyn federal court

Napout also received a fine of $1 million and $3.3 million in forfeiture.

Quote:

The other official convicted in the FIFA trial, Brazilian José María Marín, was sentenced to 4 years a week ago

Quote:

The Economist @TheEconomist

At his sentencing for corruption in New York on August 22nd, José Maria Marin, an ex-president of Brazil’s football federation, begged for mercy, shrieking “I’m almost dead.” The judge was unsympathetic: the 86-year-old got four years and $4.5m in fines

To be fair, the Russia World Cup was a very well run tournament.
