The Honorary President of the RFU Vyacheslav Koloskov said that today’s arrests of officials of FIFA in Switzerland is not related to possible violations when selecting hosts the world championships in 2018 and 2022. Let’s remind that the Swiss prosecutor’s office is investigating the circumstances of the victory of Russia and Qatar bids at the 2018 World Cup and 2022 . In parallel, the FBI is investigating corruption in FIFA. In May, a number of senior officials of the federation have been detained today was followed by a new series of arrests. It is reported that among those arrested – the head of CONCACAF and CONMEBOL Alfredo Javito and Juan Angel Naputi.
– Scandals related mainly to the Copa America and Gold Cup CONCACAF: is the sale of the commercial rights, TV coverage, tickets – said Koloskov by phone. – Thank God, as long as it does not apply to the world championships.
Javito – the new man in the executive committee of FIFA – said Koloskov on the phone. – He took the place of the arrested last time Jeffrey Webb. Apparently, he is also involved in these investigations. But I do not know him, I can not say anything. Naputi also relatively new. He was also arrested earlier deputy Eugenio Figueredo. In just two years he worked in the executive committee. Nothing special Naputi not show. I’ve seen it many times on the sidelines, at the Congress. Not to say that an active person. Maybe he’s somewhere pierced, although his guilt has not been proved. Sad that arrested the two presidents – people who have the trust of associations, who elect them.
