KEIR RADNEDGE REPORTS: Chuck Blazer tops the ‘rip-off table’ according to estimates calculated by FIFA from the US indictments, its own inquiries and knowledge of his honorariums from the world federation.

Blazer, who had pleaded guilty to FIFAGate corruption charges in a plea-bargain deal with US prosecutors, is assessed at having criminally amassed more than $5m.

Chuck Blazer: ex-CONCACAF general secretary

For years, as general secretary of CONCACAF and a member of the FIFA executive committee, Blazer was Warner’s right-hand man and fellow conspirator. He was also head of FIFA’s marketing and broadcasting committee when it was decided to run the controversial 2018 and 2022 World Cup bid simultaneously.

A ‘league table’ of monies owed by a dozen indicted individuals also shows that Brazil’s three football supremos – Ricardo Teixeira, Jose Maria Maria Marin and Marco Polo Del Nero – raked in more than $5m between them.

CBF presidents

All three were presidents of the Brazilian confederation and members of the FIFA executive committee.

The sums refer only to the years covered by the FIFAGate investigation.

They do not take into account the $20m which Teixeira and his former father-in-law, long-serving FIFA president Joao Havelange, reaped in illicit commissions from ISL, the bankrupted former marketing partner of the world federation.
