FIFA crisis SEOUL: South Korea’s soccer chief unleashed another blistering shot against FIFA president Sepp Blatter, saying his conduct might need criminal investigation. Chung Mong-joon, a FIFA vice-president, said yesterday: « He has acted without the mandate of the executive committee, doling out personal favours at FIFA’s expense.
« Such abuse of his authority and misuse of FIFA funds may require criminal investigation. » Chung said he and 10 other senior soccer officials had signed an agreement on Tuesday to assign a lawyer to look into possible legal proceedings against Blatter.
Blatter, who is standing for re-election on May 29 against Issa Hayatou of Cameroon, has expressed his disappointment at the accusations and said he would reply to the allegations in writing.
