Just follow the Guardian live blog, it has all the latest stuff. Also lol at FIFA having 15 officials arrested and their only comment so far is "Sepp wasn't involved." Like that really exonerates the organization or something.

Crazy Ted posted:Note that they did this right as the FIFA Congress was starting. Really they're just waiting to arrest Blatter until his re-election ceremony for the big showstopper. It'd be nice, but my instincts say that Blatter won't get caught up unless they can get something completely damning on him. I mean, it's Switzerland. You give them a mandate to arrest every athletic-looking Carribean type that walks into one of their nice hotels, they're not going to say no. Having them extradite a very prominent Swiss citizen is a different kettle of fish, and would have real-world political implications.

I'm so torn. On the one hand, this is just about the best outcome I hoped for in my deepest darkest fantasies. On the other hand, they don't seem inclined to go after anyone other than North Americans so I feel like any positive long-term effects are going to be limited. Oh, and the US is never ever getting the World Cup again. Course that was probably the case anyway, it's my sense that the western countries are finally getting fed up with bidding for the global sporting events and are happy to let the corrupt poo poo heaps of the world get it for as long as they're willing/stupid enough to pony up the dough/bribes.

Big thing I just remembered: very probably nobody from Congress got a kickback or votes or anything out of the FIFA shenanigans involved in the DOJ investigation. Since FIFA didn't pay that piper, they ain't getting any tunes called for them from the Legislative Branch.

That's what the Justice Department will be aiming for. They can't touch anyone who wasn't directly involved in Bribery in the US in some way, but if they can get someone to go supergrass and that Bribery occurred that impacted the US they could probably charge them. The whole deck of cards is probably going to crumble down assuming that Warner etc doesn't want a lengthy prison sentence.
