Not sure who is worse run? Blatter was aware senior officials were paid millions of pounds, according to a court investigation into bribery claims. Blatter says he knew about the payments but that they were legal at the time. He said: "Back then, such payments could even be deducted from tax as a business expense. Today, that would be punishable under law. "You can't judge the past on the basis of today's standards. Otherwise it would end up with moral justice. I can't have known about an offence that wasn't even one."
