And, art that stretches the boundaries of imagination. Ifill the indictments of officials at soccers International Governing Body were a stunning blow to the sport, and prosecutors promised it is just the beginning. Its the worlds most popular sport, run by a powerful group that rakes in billions of dollars. But the u. S. Attorney general and fbi director say the beautiful game is also involved in some dirty business. They spoke this morning in brooklyn we are here to announce the unsealing of charges and the arrest of individuals as part of our longrunning investigation into bribery and corruption in the world of organized soccer. Ifill the Justice Departments 47count indictment charged 14 people nine of International Soccers top officials and five Sports Marketing executives. The charges include racketeering, wire fraud, money laundering, and other offenses. Its a case that involves more than 150 million in bribes, doled out over decades, for media and marketing rights to various tournaments. Just hours before the u. S. Authorities spoke, swiss police emtered a luxury hotel in zurich, and arrested seven fifa officials, who will be extradited to the u. S. They were expected to uphold the rules that keep soccer honest and to protect the integrity of the game. Instead, they corrupted the business of worldwide soccer to serve their interests and to enrich themselves. Ifill fifa president Joseph Sepp Blatter said, in a statement such misconduct has no place in football and we will ensure that those who engage in it are put out of the game. Blatter will seek reelection to a fifth term friday; europes main Soccer Federation has called for a postponement. Blatter, whose 17year rule has been marred by corruption scandals, is not charged in the u. S. Indictment. Among those who were indicted jeffrey webb and jack warner, former president s of concacaf which runs soccer in north and Central America and the carribean. Fbi agents searched that organizations miami headquarters today. Fbi director comey spoke in new york the game, according to the allegations in this indictment, was hijacked. That field that is so famously flat was made tilted in favor of those who were looking to gain at the expense of countries and kids who were enjoying the game of soccer. Ifill charles blazer, a former u. S. Representative on fifas executive committee, was one of four people whos already pleaded guilty. Hed been helping the fbi since leaving soccer in 2013. After the u. S. Announcement, swiss prosecutors opened their own criminal proceedings into the highlycriticized decisions to award the 2018 world cup to russia, and the 2022 world cup to qatar. Ifill i am joined now by two reporters whove been following these events closely. Jeremy schaap of espn, who recently released a documentary exploring corruption inside fifa, and matt apuzzo. Hes been covering the legal side of the story for the new york times. How is it that you u. S. Justice department the us fbi got involved in the indictments and arrests the rest of the investigation. American law gives the Justice Department broad latitude to target Foreign National as broad with just the slightest nexus to the United States. In this case there were some meetings held in the United States. And most significantly for prosecutors and agents in new york is the allegations are that fifa officials used the American Banking system as part of this corrupt scheme. So that gives them the hook they need to bring these charges. Ifill Jeremy Schaap you have done quite a great deal of work look nag fifa. Tell us whether if fifa at its root is a Sports Organization or kind of a Global Financial powerhouse. Or a criminal enterprise which is pretty much what the department of justice was alleging today in that extraordinary press conference in brooklyn. I think people who have even a casual understanding of what fifa represents associate it with corruption and cronyism and a lack of transparency. But its quite different to hear that coming out of the mouths of the American General of the United States the director of the fbi. Make no mistake fifa has weathered scandal after scandal particularly over the course of the last 17 years as seth blatter of switzerland has been its president. But i think this is a watershed moment. Ifill tell us a little bit about seth blatter. He has been president for 17 years. He is running for reelection friday that wab his fifth term after promising not to run for reelection when he ran for a fourth term four years ago. He has been at fifa for four years. He joined the organization in 1975 when he was one of 12 employees. And over the years hes demonstrated a remarkable aptitude for the political aspect of his job. And by that i mean he has worked very effectively at perpetuating his own power. Anyone you talk to about him who knows him well will tell you he is highly intelligent, that he can be charming. But its clear that his stewardship of this organization has been, to put it generously lax in ethical terms. We can repeat t wouldnt hurt to repeat that he was not charged with anything today. Matt apuzzo of the 14 who were charged today tell us a little bit about them and also about the charges. Are they basically being charged with rigging the game . You know theyre to the being charged with rigging the game of soccer. Theyre being charged with rigging the business of soccer. And jeremys point is spot on. Is this a sporting group. Is this a global conglom ralt, or is a criminal enterprise. The way Loretta Lynch and jim comey talked about fifa they used terms they used charges that normally are associated with the mafia or mexican drug cartels. Basically the idea is fifa has over a billion dollars in cash reserves. They generate between a billion and 2 billion in revenue ef yee every year. If you want a piece of that if you want to be associated with the money and prestige of the world cup and International Soccer youve got to pay. And you know the indictment just talked about you know senior fifa officials who have the vote on where the world cup is going to go an theyre shopping it around to the highest bidder. So one country will give you a Million Dollars one country will give me 10 million. I mean it was just remarkable to read how explicit this stuff was. Ifill and matt i remember the im not that close a soccer fan but i remember the cat qatar which has no culture for somethinger got the world cup for several years hence but still pem were really surprised. Is there a suspicion that that was rugged . Well, i mean the suspicion on the 2018 and 2022 world cups in russia and qatar i mean has just plagued fifa for years. But what is remarkable is while the swiss are investigating those two the United States didnt come down those bids were not part of this investigation. Instead they went back 20 years and said this is a systemic problem thats not limited to just one or two world cup selections. Ifill let me ask Jeremy Schaap about that. This if this has been going on so long if there have been this many suspicions over the years about the way that businesses with being done at fifa why is it just rising to the level of indictments now if. Well i think jim comey addressed that a little bit during the press conference. A lot of it is about jurisdiction. A lot of it is about the fact that fifa operates under swiss law as essentially nothing more than a nonprofit like a yodeling association thats often the analogy that is thrown out there so this multibilliondollar conglomerate, you could call it which has so many interests and so many aspects much global soccer really doesnt have any overarching oversight from the swiss government. We dont know much about its workings. It doesnt have to publish its minutes. We dont know the salaries of its employees. Its been able to operate under this veil of secrecy. Over the last couple of decades switzerland has been trying to change its image it doesnt want to be considered any more the place where dictators and criminals hide their money. And fifa has become an embarrassment and seth blaert too an extent has become an embarrassment to switzerland. So the fact that the situation cooperated and work handinhand with the u. S. Department of justice and are conducting their own investigation, i think the response of that cannot be over the importance of that cannot be overstated and once the swiss determine they are going to oversee fifa and the ioc in a different way that might force them to be more accountable. Ifill matt, it sounds that the Justice Department today that this is the beginning of an investigation, not the end. Yeah, really remarkable. Its par for the course for the Justice Department to say the investigation is ongoing. But i mean prosecutors sort of laid down the marker here. They said this is the beginning not the end. And we are going to root out corruption from International Soccer. You know especially for a new attorney general to come in and lay down that marker with 18 months to go in her tenure it wasnt just the well, you know more charges could come because the investigation is ongoing. They went there today. They went to new york to send the message to International Soccer. You havent cleaned up your house. We are coming to clean up your house. Ifill matt apuzzo of the new york timess Jeremy Schaap of espn thank you both for your work. Great. Thank you woodruff storms and floods have made this an extraordinarily difficult week in parts of the midwe and the plains. Thats been especially true in houston where the countrys fourth largest city has been hammered, and other parts of texas that have been under water. Today brought yet another day of struggle and anxiety to the region. Crews raced to pump water from padera lake, trying to prevent its earthen dam from bursting, and sending a wall of water towards dozens of homes in midlothian, texas, 25 miles southwest of dallas. The dam held, for now, but police still asked residents to evacuate. While in houston, the National Weather service issued another Flood Warning for a city alreadysoaked. This followed another stormy night in the hardhit lone star state, and throughout the Central Plains and ohio river valley.
