    Three Top FIFA Officials Shared $80 (£55m) Million in Five Years, Investigators Say.

    A small group of FIFA’s top officials, including ex-President Sepp Blatter and his former second-in-command, Jérôme Valcke, allegedly paid each other bonuses worth tens of millions of dollars tied to World Cups, according to a cache of contracts disclosed by internal investigators on Friday.

    The contracts, previously unknown to most of the top brass at soccer’s world governing body, also allegedly show bonuses for the former FIFA finance committee chief Julio Grondona, who died in 2014, and former Deputy Secretary-General Markus Kattner. Mr. Kattner was fired by FIFA last month for allegedly paying himself millions in secret bonuses. Mr. Kattner didn’t respond to requests for comment.

    £56 Million......................thought it would have been more if I'm honest. They have bills to pay as well, you know.

    What gets me is that people from the countries who produced this money went without so that they could live in the lap of luxury.
    Schools, in under developed countries, weren't built. Recreational facilities weren't built. Children went without and probably so did their parents and community just so that these fat cats could lap up the cream. I count this sort among the very worst of humanity.
