Like it did when Blatter took over from the massively corrupt Havelange?
USA Attorney General and FBI involvement makes it different this time.
I agree with this comment. Previously everybody played along because nobody pointed out aloud that the emperor was naked. Blatter is a very talented politician (better than Berlusconi and their like) who knows the dirt on everybody else around him. Everybody was on the take (at certain level of access to the inner circle) therefore everybody played along. Blatter simply knew when to distance himself, when to put up a smoke curtain, and when to offer inducements which will appear above board. Who got caught up in the anti-corruption campaign of Jerome Valcke in the past? Either small minnows, like the ex-OFC head, or those challenging Blatter for supremacy, like Bin Hamman.This time it is the top brass of CONCACAF that got tripped up by the US law and order, but it will be a long shot to see UEFA or AFC top brass taken to task.
