Are they in serious trouble though? The corporate types just seem to get a couple of hundred grand fine and a note on their record, will they actually see any real-world punishment? Don't get me wrong, I hope they get the book thrown at them, but will the powerful (US judges) go easy on the powerful (FIFA gang)? Maybe Blatter is better off just accepting the slap on the wrist and getting it over and done with.

Not that I know anything about international business and bribery affairs, but I have little faith anything serious will befall them.

Errrrr, yes. Very serious.

The Yanks have no sense of humour about this sort of thing. I expect them to get prisons sentences much longer than they have left in life. And it'll be a proper pentitentiary as well.

This isn't the namby pamby UK they're dealing with here. They're properly f cked.

That serious.

I am a Compliance and Legal Director, and the one thing you do NOT do it fall foul of the US on this sort of thing. Ever. The mistake they made was using USD and putting it through American Banks. Amateurs.

I expect Blatter will do a "Janner". Stay on as president of FIFA whilst suffering dementia.

Nah, he has said he will not run (ambiguously at first) then blamed the French and the Germans. Not me guv.

My daughter in law is a compliance lawyer with a Japanese company that deals world wide. She reckons that all she does in keep them on the right side of the USA. Every other country can be worked with.

Now it's the turn of UEFA.

"Swiss police have raided Uefa’s headquarters in Nyon to seize details of a contract signed by the Fifa president, Gianni Infantino, following the Panama Papers leak.

The files, seen by the Guardian, show that Infantino – formerly director of legal services at Uefa – co-signed a television rights contract in 2006 with two businessmen who have since been caught up in football’s corruption scandal. Uefa said it is co-operating fully with the Swiss police."

Is there NO ONE at FIFA who isn't as bent a a coathanger!!

Well Infantino lasted long!

At this point, those high up in UEFA and FIFA are just as bad as any politician - anyone who wants to get to the top is obviously not of moral mind.

Sadly I fully believe it's the same in any major organisation.
