Sepp Blatter resigns as president of FIFA
Jack Sargeant:
His resignation comes during ongoing investigations into massive FIFA corruption being carried out by U.S. and Swiss officials. Revelations on Tuesday saw Blatter’s right-hand man Jérôme Valcke implicated in the transfer of a $10 million bribe from South Africa to Jack Warner’s Caribbean Football Union back in 2008.
The paper trail got awfully close to Blatter with that Valcke allegations linked in the quote. A day later, Blatter resigns.
