Very interesting to note that the Freeh/FIFA "investigation" focused on Mohammed bin Hammam (whose lifetime ban was overturned by the Court of Arbitration of Sports), yet he is not mentioned in the initial 14 arrests. Go figure.

"Critics of FIFA point to the lack of transparency regarding executive salaries and resource allocations for an organization that, by its own admission, had revenue of $5.7 billion from 2011 to 2014. Policy decisions are also often taken without debate or explanation, and a small group of officials — known as the executive committee — operates with outsize power. FIFA has for years functioned with little oversight and even less transparency. Alexandra Wrage, a governance consultant who once unsuccessfully attempted to help overhaul FIFA’s methods, famously labeled the organization “byzantine and impenetrable.”
