Blazer reveals $.25m bribery cheque for South Africa 2010

Chuck Blazer received $250,000 cheque as part of a payment to allegedly vote for South Africa to host the 2010 World Cup.
The FIFA whistleblower reportedly received $750,000 in exchange for his vote.
Blazer revealed he and other FIFA executive committee members accepted bribes in exchange for votes during the bidding process for the 1998 and 2010 World Cups.
The U.S. indictment states of the cheque: “The third payment, in the amount of $250,000, was made by check drawn on an account held in the name of CFU at Republic Bank in Trinidad and Tobago.
“The check was delivered to Co-Conspirator £1 [Blazer] by another individual who travelled by airplane from Trinidad and Tobago to JFK International Airport in Queens, New York, and then to CONCACAF’s headquarters in New York where he delivered the check to Co-Conspirator £1 [Blazer].”
Blazer was Chairman of the Organising Committee for the FIFA Club World Cup.
After his arrest, sources say he was given an ultimatum on the sidewalk to either help prosecutors or face a lengthy prison sentence.
Blazer told the court: “Beginning in or about 1993 and continuing through the early 2000s, I and others agreed to accept bribes and kickbacks in conjunction with the broadcast and other rights to the 1996, ‘1998, 2000, 2002, and 2003 Gold (World) Cups.
“Beginning in or around 2004 and continuing through 2011, I and others on the FIFA executive committee agreed to accept bribes in conjunction with the selection of South Africa as the host nation for the 2010 World Cup.
“Among other things, my actions described above had common participants and results.”
His evidence indicates widespread corruption among officials at the tournaments in America, France, South Korean and Japan, Germany and South Africa.
