FIFA has provisionally banned the guys indicted from all soccer activities.

“The charges are clearly related to football and are of such a serious nature that it was imperative to take swift and immediate action,” said Hans-Joachim Eckert, the chairman of the adjudicatory chamber of the FIFA ethics committee. “The proceedings will follow their course in line with the FIFA code of ethics.

Idioms concerning closing doors and horses leaving come to mind.

Thank goodness FIFA rooted out the corruption and can go about their business

Unless you meant Figueredo in which case they already got him. He also commited fraud in his American residency and dodged taxes in the US. He's hosed.
He's the one that's going lose his US citizenship right? Good riddance.

Anyone know of any good articles/books/documentaries about this, i.e. the NY crime family takedowns? That sounds cool as heck.

Wikipedia will fill in you on the boring details. I've read a few mafia autobiographies/biographies which go into the destruction of Italian OC and it's pretty crazy stuff. Basically anyone in America who was cognizant during the 90s remembers those indictments and trials and it's why people knew FIFA were hosed when it was announced they were getting RICOed.

Eckert was involved in the Michael Garcia investigation somehow, iirc. I drank away most of those memories.

Yeah, he claimed to be senile to avoid taking an English exam and then claimed he hadn't worked for 5+ years while being the FIFA vice-president lol.

He never paid taxes while he was a "citizen" either so he's hosed.

Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.

Once they start to turn on Blatter (and they will) he's proper hosed.

One more thing, this is the first case for the new US AG so you can bet your rear end that this will not end well for anyone involved.
Heads are gonna roll and I can't wait for Brian Cox to play Blatter in the eventual movie.

You're not the most any of those things, and I don't even especially like America. Stop inciting genocide against your own nation to win D&D points you weirdo.

On the other hand, lol at the guy who thinks anyone gives two shits about the integrity of Poland, it's been the perfect site for doing your dirty business ever since one Mr. Hitler turned up in 1939.
