FIFA: Blatter, Valcke En Kattner Zwaar in De Fout NIEUWS 03 juni 2016 FIFA: Blatter, Valcke en Kattner zwaar in de fout Ex-voorzitter Sepp Blatter, voormalig secretaris-generaal Jérôme Valcke en voormalig nancieel directeur Markus Kattner van de wereldvoetbalbond FIFA hebben zich in de afgelopen vijf jaar gezamenlijk verrijkt met een bedrag van ruim 71 miljoen euro. Dat blijkt uit intern onderzoek bij de wereldvoetbalbond. De drie voormalige topbestuurders van de FIFA zouden zichzelf en elkaar jaarlijks forse salarisverhogingen hebben gegeven, WK-premies hebben toebedeeld en andere bonussen onder elkaar hebben verdeeld. Volgens de FIFA was er sprake van een gecoördineerde werkwijze bij het drietal, dat vanwege het omkopings- en corruptieschandaal bij de wereldvoetbalbond eerder al moest opstappen. Al deze nanciële toeslagen voor het trio kwamen niet overeen met de cijfers in de o ciële stukken. De FIFA heeft de resultaten van het interne onderzoek aan het Openbaar Ministerie in Zwitserland overhandigd. Ook zal de wereldvoetbalbond de Amerikaanse justitie op de hoogte stellen. Beide instanties doen onderzoek naar de malversaties bij de FIFA. Naar aanleiding van de uitkomsten van het interne onderzoek bij de FIFA, dat nog niet is afgerond, heeft de Zwitserse justitie opnieuw huiszoeking gedaan op het hoofdkwartier van de wereldvoetbalbond. Dat gebeurde op donderdag waarna een dag later de FIFA met de beschuldigende informatie over het drietal naar buiten kwam. Het trio stond al onder verdenking van verduistering en misbruik van vertrouwen. Kattner werd anderhalve week geleden ontslagen bij de FIFA. Volgens een toen nog summiere verklaring van de wereldvoetbalbond had hij zich niet gehouden aan de afspraken in zijn arbeidscontract. Volgens Sky Sports had de in Duitsland geboren o cial de schimmige betaling van 1,8 miljoen euro van Blatter aan de toenmalige UEFA-preses Michel Platini geregeld. Die dubieuze overboeking kostte beide voetbalbazen hun baan. Volgens het Duitse persbureau DPA zou Kattner tussen 2008 en 2014 "een paar miljoen" aan vage bonussen bij de FIFA hebben ontvangen. Hij trad bij de FIFA als secretaris-generaal aan als vervanger van de in september ontslagen Valcke.

    October 2016 Alert Q3 2016: Regulatory Round-Up White Collar This round-up contains a summary by sector of certain key global regulatory developments which occurred during the third quarter of 2016. The sectors Defense & covered in this round-up include: Investigations Financial Services Energy Cyber/Data Transport Sport “Other” Detail contained within is publicly available information. This Alert does not contain any legal commentary on the aforementioned. Financial Services On 17 August, a former Deutsche Bank (“DB”) employee and whistleblower refused to accept his portion of the whistleblower award ($16.5 million) from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The whistleblower, Ben-Artzi, provided information which enabled the SEC to fine DB $55 million in May 2015 for false accounting. Ben-Artzi rejected the award stating that the corporate fine should be paid by individual executives, not shareholders.1 On 21 July, the FCA published a thematic review aimed to address concerns about the operation of “dark pools” in the UK. The report concluded that trading platforms with no pre-trade transparency and where the price and volume of orders are hidden have made significant progress in addressing conflict of interest issues. The FCA has outlined certain areas in which improvements could be made, including the provision of more information about the design and operation of dark pools to users, and improving the monitoring activity of the pools.2 On 19 July, the new head of the FCA, Andrew Bailey, set out his vision of the regulator’s future. In his speech, Mr Bailey paid tribute to the introduction of the senior managers regime which expands the FCA’s scope of enforcement against individual executives for wrongdoings within their area of responsibility.

  • FIFA and UEFA Address Various Urgent Matters
    Media Release Date: 15/02/2007 Communiqué aux médias No. 021 Medien-Mitteilung FIFA and UEFA address various urgent matters Coordination meeting FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter and UEFA President Michel Platini, accompanied by a delegation from each governing body, met in Zurich today Thursday 15 February 2007 to discuss a number of urgent matters. The meeting focused on problems regarding players’ agents, insurance for clubs and the players who they release for international duty and the coordinated international match calendar. With regard to the latter issue, it was noted that, in December 2007, there will be a collision due to scheduled fixtures in the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup. The two governing bodies will now examine two possible solutions to this problem as soon as possible. At the same time, the two bodies agreed to create a committee, composed of representatives of all of football’s stakeholders (confederations, associations, leagues, clubs and players’ representatives), in order to harmonise the coordinated international match calendar at world level up to 2014. Joseph S. Blatter and Michel Platini both recognised the importance of this meeting. “This meeting came at a vital moment, not only for European football, but also for world football. FIFA cannot implement its sports policies without direct cooperation and collaboration with UEFA. We may not always have the same ideas, but we will have the same approach,” stressed Blatter. Michael Platini, meanwhile, underlined the “unity of vision” shared by FIFA and UEFA, who “need to work together to promote the true values of football and develop our sport together.

We are now moving through a period of necessary change to protect the future of our organ- • Members of the new FIFA Council must be elected by the member associations from each isation. respective region under new FIFA governance regulations and monitored by the new, independent FIFA Review Committee. We maintain that the majority of those working in football governance do so in the right way and for the right reasons, but it has become clear that root-and-branch reform is the only way to deter future wrong- • More independent and properly qualified members of key committees such as finance, development, doing and to restore faith in FIFA. governanceand compliance to provide a stronger layer of neutrality and scrutiny. For these reasons, this year and the immediate years to come will be among the most important for FIFA since it was founded in 1904. • More involvement from the football community (players, clubs, leagues, member associations, etc.) in decision making. A new FIFA President will be elected at the Congress in February, offering the opportunity to start a new chapter. It is vital to recognise that this will be only the beginning. We will need to work hard together • A statutory commitment by FIFA to uphold and protect internationally recognised human rights in over the coming years to win back the trust and respect of fans, players, commercial affiliates and all the all its activities.

The opinions expressed in these articles are those of the authors and do not represent the views of INTERPOL or its employees. INTERPOL Integrity in Sport Bi-Weekly Bulletin 16-29 March 2021 INVESTIGATIONS Netherlands Match fixers have Dutch darts players in their sights, public prosecutor to investigate Match fixers are setting their sights on Dutch darts players, an investigation by broadcaster NOS has shown. Darts players have to report attempts to involve them in match fixing – deliberately playing badly or losing a match – to the international darts authority DRA. Last year six out of the ten reports received by the authority came from Dutch players, NOS said. However, the DRA thinks many more players are being approached. The Dutch public prosecution office has said it is aware of the situation and will be starting an investigation of its own. Betting on the outcome of dart games is becoming more popular, with an average game netting some hundreds of thousands of euros in bets. Players are usually approached via messaging services like Telegram. In one case the broadcaster managed to identify the messenger, a man who claimed his attempts at bribing players had met with little success. Another message was found to come from Dutch match fixing groups on Telegram who were selling on matches they claimed were fixed but weren’t. Two players were suspended by the DRA because of match fixing last year, including Dutch darts talent Wessel Nijman (20).

  • Off Pitch: Football's Financial Integrity Weaknesses, and How to Strengthen
    Off Pitch: Football’s financial integrity weaknesses, and how to strengthen them Matt Andrews and Peter Harrington CID Working Paper No. 311 January 2016 Copyright 2016 Andrews, Matt; Harrington, Peter; and the President and Fellows oF Harvard College Working Papers Center for International Development at Harvard University Off Pitch: Football’s financial integrity weaknesses, and how to strengthen them Matt Andrews and Peter Harrington1 Abstract Men’s professional football is the biggest sport in the world, producing (by our estimate) US $33 billion a year. All is not well in the sector, however, with regular scandals raising questions about the role of money in the sport. The 2015 turmoil around FIFA is obviously the most well known example, creating a crisis in confidence in the sector. This study examines these questions, and the financial integrity weaknesses they reveal; it also offers ideas to strengthen the weaknesses. The study argues that football’s financial integrity weaknesses extend far beyond FIFA. These weaknesses have emerged largely because the sector is dominated by a small elite of clubs, players and owners centered in Europe’s top leagues. The thousands of clubs beyond this elite have very little resources, constituting a vast base of ‘have-nots’ in football’s financial pyramid. This pyramid developed in recent decades, fuelled by concentrated growth in new revenue sources (like sponsorships, and broadcasting). The growth has also led to increasingly complex transactions—in player transfers, club ownership and financing (and more)—and an expansion in opportunities for illicit practices like match-fixing, money laundering and human trafficking. We argue that football’s governing bodies – including FIFA – helped establish this pyramid.

    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS 2016/A/4501 Joseph S. Blatter v. Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), award of 5 December 2016 Panel: Mr Manfred Nan (The Netherlands), President; Mr Patrick Lafranchi (Switzerland); Mr Andrew de Lotbinière McDougall (France) Football Disciplinary sanctions for infringements to the Code of Ethics Principle “tempus regit actum” and prohibition against retroactivity Admissibility of a witness statement of a witness not appearing at the hearing Potential conclusive and preclusive effects of a previous award rendered in a closely connected case Burden of proof Standard of proof of “personal conviction” Prohibition of bribery Conflict of interests Limited discretion to review sanctions imposed by disciplinary bodies of federations 1. Pursuant to the legal principle of tempus regit actum or non-retroactivity, procedural matters are governed by the regulations in force at the time of the procedural act in question. The prohibition against retroactivity is a fundamental principle of Swiss law and forms part of international public policy (ordre public). An exception in this respect may however be if more recent regulations than the one in force at the time of the violation are more favourable to the accused (lex mitior). 2. According to article 4(7) of the IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration, “[i]f a witness whose appearance has been requested pursuant to Article 8.1 fails without a valid reason to appear for testimony at an Evidentiary Hearing, the Arbitral Tribunal shall disregard any Witness Statement related to that Evidentiary Hearing by that witness unless, in exceptional circumstances, the Arbitral Tribunal decides otherwise”.
