Officials said the operation Police raided offices, homes used information from the FBI and businesses in Barcelona and following the U.S. case against other locations in Spain as part high-level FIFA officials in 2015. Rosell, a former Nike execu- tive in Brazil, had close connec- tions to the former president of the Brazilian football confed- eration, Ricardo Teixeira, who was mentioned in the indict- ment by American officials. Teixeira was also being investigated by Spanish authorities, and raids were also expected in Brazil. Teixeira resigned from the Brazilian confederation in 2012 citing medical reasons amid wide- spread allegations of corrup- tion and irregularities in his administration. In the 1990s, Rosell nego- tiated several deals with Teix- eira involving Brazil’s national team and Nike, which remains the sportswear company used by the Brazilian team. Several years ago, Rosell was formally accused by Bra- zilian authorities of using one of his companies to illegally benefit from a friendly between Brazil and Portugal in 2008. Rosell was cleared of any wrongdoing at the time. In a separate case in Spain, Rosell is going to stand trial for fraud and corruption charges C M involving the transfer of striker Y K Neymar from Brazilian club Santos in 2013. Prosecutors said the real amount of the transfer fee was concealed to benefit some of those involved. Neymar and his father will also stand trial. Rosell resigned as Barce- lona president in 2014 because of the allegations related to Neymar’s transfer. He had taken over the club in 2010. He and his wife were detained at their home in Bar- celona during one of the police raids. They stayed at the loca- tion while authorities executed search warrants. Another home owned by Rosell was also searched by police. samoa news, Tuesday May, 23 2017 Page B9 Aloaia tautua o ni ali’i na faasaoina le soifua LeLe o le ali’i Pailate ia Silila Patane LaliLali tusia Ausage Fausia lana saunoaga e fa’apea, o se se sauniga fa’alavelave na tula’i mai i le faapitoa sa aso 13 Me a o fa’atinoina gal- fa’ataunu’uina uega a le ali’i Pailate ia Patane i luga o le potu ma ni isi o le aufaigaluega e fonoO o le Ofisa a le afioga i le to’atolu, lea ua mafua ai ona ali’i Kovana ia Lolo Mata- manatu le Matagaluega e aloaia lasi Moliga i le taeao ananafi, le galuega lelei sa fa’atinoina na aloaia ai e le Matagal- e ni isi o ana tagata faigaluega uega o Pulega o Uafu ma e to’atolu sa i ai i le taimi na Malaeva’alele tautua a ni isi o tula’i mai ai le fa’alavelave. ana tagata faigaluega e to’atolu, O ali’i faigaluega sa maua e mafua mai i se galuega lelei sa fa’ailoga taualoa fa’apea ai ma latou fa’atinoina e ala i lo latou ni meaalofa tupe mai le Matag- fa’asaoina lea o le soifua o le aluega e aofia ai le susuga ia ali’i Pailate ia Silila Patane ina Sunia Davetawalu ma Timoci ua pau o ia ao fa’atinoina ana Loloma, o ni tagatanu’u ia mai galuega. le atunu’u o Fiti o lo o galulue O le susuga i le ali’i Tiakono fa’akonekarate i le Pulega o ia Malaki Timu na ta’ita’ia le Uafu ma Malaeva’alele, faapea sauniga lotu puupuu i le tatalo, ai ma le susuga ia Joseph ma ia fa’atauaina ai le feau mai Fa’agata. le Tusi o Salamo e fa’atatau Na fa’amanino e Taimalelagi i soo se tagata faigaluega e e fa’apea, soo se taimi e ulufale Ali’i se to’atolu sa fesoasoani i le fa’asaoina o le soifua o le ali’i Pailate ia Patane, susuga Joseph fa’alagolago lona soifua i le mai ai se va’a i totonu o le uafu, Fa’agata, Sunia Davetawalu ma Timoci Loloma i le taimi na maua ai a latou fa’ailoga taualofa mai Atua, tusa lava poo a faigata ma e mana’omia ai lava se va’a le Matagaluega o Pulega o Uafu ma Malaeva’alele.

Dear Abby by Abigail Van Buren LAWYER’S PETITION TO HELP FRIEND STUDY IS DISMISSED DEAR ABBY: I have a close friend, “Samantha,” whom I met in law school four years ago. We both graduated in 2014. I have passed the bar exam, and so have all our friends from school, but Samantha has not. She was in a bad relationship back in school and planned to marry the guy. That fell apart, and she’s now dating a guy who seems to be pretty great. Samantha has failed the bar exam twice now, and I know she’s smart enough to pass. I have offered encouragement, to help her study and critique her practice essays, but she has refused. I want to find a way to get through to her that it’s OK to ask for help. I’d like to suggest that maybe she should put the new boyfriend on hold for a while as she studies for the next exam. I know it will be hard for her and most likely embarrassing, but I am her friend, and I want her to get what she worked so hard for. -- CHEERING HER ON IN BROOKLYN, N.Y. DEAR CHEERING: You are a caring and well-meaning friend, but Samantha has refused your gen- erous offer. While you may wish she’d put her romance on hold until she passes the bar, it’s possible her emotional needs are greater than you understand. If you want to retain her friendship, back off and let her find her own way through this, or you may wind up driving her away. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• DEAR ABBY: My daughter is being married at a resort hotel where the bridal party and spouses, several relatives and friends will be spending the night. This resort has an upscale restaurant on site. My husband and I are spending a lot on this wedding already. Must we also host a morning-after wedding brunch for everyone staying at the hotel and for other guests who have flown in from out of town (who may be staying at other hotels in the area)? Please advise! -- BRUNCH FOR A BUNCH DEAR B.F.A.B.: There are no formal rules regarding post-wedding brunches. Usually they are hosted by the bride’s or groom’s family or friends. However, if paying for the brunch would strain your budget, consider inviting your guests to a “no host” brunch at a restaurant that’s less expensive than the one at the hotel. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• DEAR ABBY: I’m a 60-year-old semi-retired widower living in central Florida. On hot days (hot, humid days are abundant in central Florida in the summer), I have taken to wearing a kilt. The kilts are the most comfortable garments I have ever owned. Most folks are tolerant hereabouts, but I do get some odd looks. I say it is my right to be comfort- able and to heck with the (very few) snickers I get while riding the bus, at the library, post office or grocery store. Abby, am I normal or just a bit nuts? -- ODD LOOKS IN FLORIDA DEAR ODD LOOKS: I don’t think it’s “nuts” to want to be comfortable. If wearing a kilt provides the ventilation you need to feel comfortable, I say more power to you. However, I would not classify you as normal because most people prefer to just blend in, and what you’re doing is unusual. samoa news, Tuesday May, 23 2017 Page B15 Page B16 samoa news, Tuesday May, 23 2017
