So, basically we can assume every World Cup awarded since 1980 has been the result of fraud and bribery

What about Mexico 86? I'll be real mad if my one completed panini album is tainted with bribery allegations

The first thing I got asked about when I wanted to do business in Egypt was for a bribe. Their ambassador was arrested for taking bribes a few weeks later. They have been, at the time, one of the most corrupt countries in the world. There's no way I believe any of this.

here's the bit on the ambassador:

quote:

The former Egyptian Ambassador to Poland has been detained in Cairo after corruption allegations made against him involving a land deal in the Polish capital.

The man is accused of accepting bribes to the tune of a million zloty in transactions connected with a land deal. Polish lawyers who oversaw the sale have also been detained.

Warsaw police announced that a Warsaw-based lawyer was hired by the former Ambassador to broker the deal. “The task was carried out by Jacek M.’s office who worked together with Tomasz C.. They bought the land through a middle man who then sold it on to the embassy for an inflated price,” says Dorota Tietz, spokesperson for the Warsaw police.

The Egyptian embassy took a loss of 1.42 million euros, added Tietz, explaining that, after the transaction, Jacek M. paid then-ambassador one million zloty (about 330,000 euro).

Egypt was corrupt as gently caress during the cold war. They were one of the leaders of the unaligned movement and played the US and Soviet Union off each other, extracting massive concessions and aid (bribes) from both parties. They also hold a very strong bargaining position in trade negotiations within the region due to the suez canal.

Egypt wasnt really my thing and that is the extent of my memory
