I think they all got $2m in literal brown envelopes back in 2010 op

Ok, this is probably going to sound like the stupidest question in the world: how do these people then deposit this money in the bank? Do they all have Swiss bank accounts (I guess since their HQ is in literal Switzerland). I ask because if I get a transfer from abroad (I still have some savings back home) my own bank immediately sends me an email asking me where I got this money and all but asking me if I am a money launderer. I can't imagine asking for a bribe and not getting caught thanks to the nature of banking.

I'm not gonna lie if any of the gulf royals gave me as much money as the qatari's gave Infantino I will immediately sell all of you out and dive into my money pile. I wont even bother defending it. I wish these westerner officials would stop pretending they're something more than just a money grubbing hypocrite and just say 'gently caress you I'm a millionare now eat poo poo losers'. that's the only argument that would be morally consistent with the types to who go do LIV gold of something.

In other "incredibly stupid" question, why is it that people who get bribed simply not keep the money and not do anything? What can the bribee do in that case, call the police for them not taking your illegal bribe? If someone paid me 1m to vote for them, I'd just keep it, not do it then get another job.

Edit: i guess the answer is "hope they bribe you again in the future" but given the pettiness of the people who do these things i wouldn't count on it, personally.

I'd be the worst criminal.

Not to take away from the serious issue but I can never get over how loving decadently fancy athlete locker rooms are these days. Not as disgusting a use of money as when college football locker rooms are like this but still. Just put some goddamn lockers and closets, not a loving spaceship pod.

With messages like these, they should be made to change outside in the desert.

One of the Portuguese weekly papers has an exclusive claiming that Qatar will blacklist Portugal as soon as the WC is over because our President pissed off everyone by ignoring calls for him to not attend the Cup in person and criticising Qatar's human rights abuses once he was actually in Qatar.
