Fifa: Sepp Blatter, Jerome Valcke & Markus Kattner ‘Awarded Themselves £55m’
Former high-ranking Fifa officials Sepp Blatter, Jerome Valcke and Markus Kattner awarded themselves pay rises and bonuses worth $80m (£55m) over five years, say Fifa lawyers.
Football’s governing body revealed the contracts of ex-president Blatter, fired ex-secretary general Valcke and sacked former finance director Kattner one day after a Swiss police raid.
Its lawyers said there was evidence that the trio made “a coordinated effort” to “enrich themselves” between 2011 and 2015.
Documents and electronic data were seized during Thursday’s operation, which relates to investigations into Blatter and Valcke.
