U.S. Accuses Soccer Officials of Decades of ‘Rampant, Systemic and Deep-Rooted’ Corruption by conalurquhart
Wednesday May 27th, 2015 at 9:54 AM

TIME

In a cascading explosion of events that sent the soccer world into shock on Wednesday, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said that officials of the International Football Association (FIFA) — the world’s most powerful and lucrative sporting body — had engaged in decades of criminal actions in which they pocketed millions of dollars in bribes over more than two decades. Unveiling charges of money laundering, racketeering and wire fraud against 14 people, including nine FIFA officials, Lynch said the charges showed “corruption that is rampant, systemic and deep-rooted both abroad and here in the United States,” and that “at least two generations of soccer officials… have abused their positions of trust to acquire millions of bribes and kickbacks.”

In a morning that left FIFA officials reeling, Swiss police stormed the Zurich hotel rooms of seven executive committee members before dawn on Wednesday, hauling them into custody in preparation for extradition to New York, whose Eastern District court unveiled indictments against 14 people, including two FIFA vice presidents, involving bribe-taking and fraud worth millions and dating back to 1991.

That was not the end of the morning’s stunning events. Within hours, Switzerland’s Attorney General’s office announced it had raided FIFA headquarters in Zurich on Wednesday and seized hordes of documents and computer hard drives, in connection with “criminal mismanagement and money laundering.” The Swiss charges relate to FIFA’s decision in December 2010 to award the World Cup to Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022. The prospect of Qatar hosting the Cup was greeted with incredulity as it has never qualified for the tournament, it has a population of just over two million and its summers are too hot for outdoor sports although it one of the richest countries in the world. Qatar beat the U.S. by a single vote.

FIFA’s management tried to downplay the severity of the charges on Wednesday and attempted to portray the organization as having been the victim of errant figures within its executive ranks — casting the indictments as the result of a few rotten eggs within an otherwise clean organization. “We are very happy about what is happening right now,” FIFA spokesman Walter de Gregorio told a packed press conference at the organization’s headquarters in Zurich, where football officials from across the world are gathered this week for FIFA’s congress, and to vote on Friday for a new (or reelected) president. “It is once again FIFA suffering under these circumstances. It is certainly a difficult moment for us.”

De Gregorio did not appear to have read the Department of Justice press release published Wednesday in which Acting U.S. Attorney Kelly T. Currie of the Eastern District of New York said that Wednesday’s announcement was a message that enough was enough. “After decades of what the indictment alleges to be brazen corruption, organized international soccer needs a new start – a new chance for its governing institutions to provide honest oversight and support of a sport that is beloved across the world, increasingly so here in the United States. Let me be clear: this indictment is not the final chapter in our investigation.”

FIFA’s hastily arranged press conference appeared designed to quarantine the organization and its president Sepp Blatter from the turmoil raging around them, and to allow this week’s meeting to go ahead as planned — as well as to try to prevent FIFA members from reopening the votes on the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. “Russia and Qatar will be played. This is what is fact today. I don’t go into speculation about what will happen tomorrow,” de Gregorio told reporters.

How FIFA can control the damage from Wednesday’s charges and arrests, and keep the organization on track, is still unclear. But De Gregorio reminded journalists several times that it was FIFA itself that had opened the corruption investigation in Switzerland last November, which led to Wednesday’s raid. He said not even Blatter had known about the impending arrests, despite the fact that he has run the organization with despotic control for 17 years, and is up for reelection for a fifth term in office.

Among those arrested in Zurich was one of Blatter’s closest allies, FIFA Vice President Jeffrey Webb, who heads the regional football association for North and Central America and the Caribbean (CONCACAF), and who many have regarded as Blatter’s likely successor. Despite that, de Gregorio insisted Blatter was untouched by Wednesday’s events. “The president is not involved,” he told reporters, and they bombarded him with questions about the FIFA president’s viability. “Of course he is the head of FIFA. But he is not involved, so how can you say he has to step down? He is the president, he is the president, and in two days he will stand for reelection.”

The raids in Switzerland were preceded by the unsealing of a 47-count indictment early Wednesday morning in federal court in Brooklyn, New York. It also emerged that four individual defendants and two corporate defendants had already pleaded guilty.

Two of the most senior officials were Webb and Jack Warner, the former president of CONCACAF, whose headquarters in Miami were also raided Wednesday.

The Department of Justice also revealed that two sons of Jack Warner, Daryll and Daryan Warner pleaded guilty to wire fraud and other charges in July 2013. The other men who pleaded guilty were Charles Blazer, the former CONCACAF general secretary and a former FIFA executive committee member and José Hawilla, the owner and founder of Traffic Group, the Brazilian sports marketing conglomerate. Hawilla also agreed to forfeit over $151 million, $25 million of which has been paid.

Two companies, Traffic Sports USA Inc. and Traffic Sports International Inc. also pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy.

Kenyan lawyer offers livestock to wed Obama's daughter: report
Wednesday May 27th, 2015 at 12:55 AM

Nairobi (AFP) - A Kenyan lawyer has offered US president Barack Obama 50 cows and other assorted livestock in exchange for his 16-year old daughter Malia's hand in marriage, a report said Tuesday.

Felix Kiprono said he was willing to pay 50 cows, 70 sheep and 30 goats in order to fulfil his dream of marrying the first daughter.

"I got interested in her in 2008," Kiprono said, in an interview with The Nairobian newspaper.

At that time President Obama was running for office for the first time and Malia was a 10-year-old.

"As a matter of fact, I haven't dated anyone since and promise to be faithful to her. I have shared this with my family and they are willing to help me raise the bride price," he said.

Kiprono said he intended to put his offer of marriage to Obama and hopes the president will bring his daughter with him when he makes his first presidential visit to Kenya, the country where his father was born, in July.

Obama's Kenyan grandmother, who is in her early 90s, still lives in Kogelo, in western Kenya, home to a number of the president's relatives.

"I am currently drafting a letter to Obama asking him to please have Malia accompany him for this trip. I hope the embassy will pass the letter to him," he said.

Kiprono dismissed the notion he might be a gold-digger.

"People might say I am after the family's money, which is not the case. My love is real," he insisted.

The young lawyer, whose age was not revealed, said he had already planned his proposal, which would be made on a hill near his rural village, and the wedding at which champagne would be shunned in favour of a traditional sour milk called "mursik".

Kiprono said that as a couple he and the young Obama would lead "a simple life".

"I will teach Malia how to milk a cow, cook ugali (maize porridge) and prepare mursik like any other Kalenjin woman," he said.

U.S. Hasn't Kept Ukraine Aid Promises
Tuesday May 26th, 2015 at 10:44 PM

Bloomberg View

There’s a large gap between what the U.S. has promised in nonlethal military aid to Ukraine's armed forces and national guard and what it has actually delivered. As the U.S. promises to consider sending lethal aid to Ukraine, those delays and shortfalls are not only feeding frustration and disappointment, but also undermining the credibility of these new pledges.

Secretary of State John Kerry met with Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko on Thursday andpledged that the U.S. would stand by his government as it battles an increasingly aggressive separatist movement, heavily supported and armed by the Russian government. But according to the Obama administration’s own accounting to Congress, revealed in a document distributed on Capitol Hill in mid-December that I obtained, only half of the $118 million of nonlethal assistance pledged to Ukraine has so far been delivered.

“We keep making promises that aren’t fulfilled. We don’t think the administration’s promises are being kept,” Republican Senator Rob Portman, who together with Democratic Senator Richard Durbin leads a new caucus in the chamber organized to raise the profile of the Ukraine issue, told me in an interview. “The administration seems to want to stand by while the violence escalates and more people are killed.”

According to the document, a range of items the U.S. has said it will send to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and State Border Guard Service have yet to be delivered. Among them are water purification systems, medical supplies, binoculars, sleeping bags, tents and cold weather gear. The border guard is missing promised SUVs, armored trucks, vans, spare tires and much more.

Portman said that Ukraine has not received any of more than 100 promised Humvees, and that the administration pledged to give Ukraine armored ambulances but never came through. Senate staff members told me that many in the State Department and Defense Department are frustrated with the White House, which they argue hasn’t shown urgency in getting the gear to Ukraine.

Moreover, the administration has sent equipment that, even within the defensive restrictions it has set, is of limited use to the Ukrainians. Instead of giving Ukraine anti-battery radar, for instance, which is capable against longer-range threats, the U.S. has given Ukraine less-effective anti-mortar radar systems. Also, the U.S. gave Ukraine 150 night-vision devices in September, but declined to provide night-vision gun scopes that could be used in battle.

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki confirmed to me that only half the promised assistance has arrived but maintained that the administration remains committed to boosting Ukraine’s security capabilities as quickly as it can.

“The United States has not only committed to providing a range of nonlethal and economic assistance to Ukraine, we are using every lever possible to ensure assistance that has been approved is delivered efficiently and in a timely manner,” she said.

The problems with the process of moving nonlethal aid are not new. Last April, retired General Wesley Clark and Ukraine weapons expert Phillip Karber issued a report that called on the Obama administration to appoint a high-level official to oversee nonlethal aid, to fix the process in response to the urgency of the emergency:

“Delivery of US non-lethal military aid is harmed by a bureaucracy that is not operating with a sense of urgency or implementing leadership. It must be replaced with an attitude that puts a priority on helping Ukraine ahead of a narrow preoccupation with administrative procedure and institutional budgets.”

Karber told me in an interview that the administration has subsequently not made any progress in fixing that system, and that Ukrainian officials have told him they are beginning to doubt the administration’s overall commitment to the effort.

“Obama short-sheeted Poroshenko. He promises them one thing and delivers then something else,” he said. “This disconnect, it undermines the basis of American credibility. The cynicism in Eastern Europe about American credibility is palpable. It is putting to a lie the argument that they actually care. They make these statements and then it takes months or it doesn’t happen.”

Over the last few months, Russia has drastically stepped up its provision of heavy weaponry to the Ukrainian separatists, and in recent weeks the fighting has intensified. As a result, the Obama administration is now re-evaluating its previous decision not to take aid to Ukraine to the next level by directly providing lethal assistance, including Javelin anti-tank missiles, small arms and ammunition.

“We cannot close our eyes to tanks crossing the border from Russia and coming into Ukraine, we can’t close our eyes to Russian fighters in unmarked uniforms crossing the border and leading individual companies of so-called separatists into battle,” Kerry said Thursday in Kiev.

New data compiled by Karber claims that, since October, Russia has moved into Ukraine more than 400 armored fighting vehicles, 250 tanks, 100 “Grad” multiple launch rocket systems, 75 artillery batteries and more.

Frustration with the lack of lethal military assistance to Ukraine on Capitol Hill is bipartisan. In December, Obama signed the Ukraine Freedom Support Act, which authorizes defensive lethal aid and passed Congress unanimously. But in a statement, the White House said the president’s signing of the bill did not signal an actual change in policy.

“I think we need to give the Ukrainians the resources they need to protect themselves, particularly with regard to border security. And that does require giving them lethal aid,” Democratic Senator Ben Cardin told me.

The group of 15 senators led by Portman and Durbin wrote to Obama on Tuesday calling on him to use his authority to provide defensive lethal aid to Ukraine, arguing that increasing the pressure on Putin is the only way to convince him to back down from his current escalation in eastern Ukraine.

“Despite the welcome imposition of U.S. and EU sanctions and mounting international isolation, Russian President Putin appears willing to gamble his country’s economy and world standing to further his blatant military invasion of another nation,” the senators wrote. “That he is willing to undertake such a selfish pursuit to protect his kleptocracy and at the cost of the Russian people’s freedoms, aspirations, and talents is only the more tragic. Such a dangerous international bully will only stand down when faced with credible resistance.”

Obama acknowledged in an interview with CNN last week that even as Western-imposed sanctions have hurt Russia’s economy, they have not deterred Putin from aggressively interfering in Ukraine.

Inside the White House, some administration officials believe that lethal assistance to Ukraine will not only fail to deter Putin, but also push him to escalate the conflict further, adding to the human tragedy and dragging the U.S. into a hot war that European countries want no part of. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has publicly stated Germany will not arm the Ukrainian military.

Kerry has been working behind the scenes to cut a deal in which Russia would cease its aggression in Ukraine in exchange for limited sanctions relief and an agreement to table the issue of Crimea. The Russians have repeatedly rejected those terms.

Some experts agree with the administration that escalation through the form of U.S. lethal assistance to Ukraine is too risky, especially because Ukraine will always be more important to Russia than to America, and there’s no limit on what Putin will do to protect Russian interests there.

“If the Russians want to crush the entire Ukrainian military and take the entire country, they could do it. No amount of military assistance to Ukraine will change that fact. All it will do is kill more Russians as they kill more Ukrainians,” said Sam Charap, senior fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies. “Putin is trying to turn this into a battle in the Russian mind between Russia and America. And military assistance helps them with that.”

Poroshenko’s most memorable line when he addressed Congress last September was, “One cannot win the war with blankets.” What the Obama administration can’t say publicly is that the U.S. has not yet made the decision to support Ukraine enough so that it can “win,” whatever that means.

But it is the growing gap between U.S. rhetoric and its actual policy, measured not least by its failure to fulfill its earlier pledges, that is leaving Ukrainians feeling bewildered and abandoned. The administration must decide whether to double down or strike a compromise in Ukraine. Then, it must forthrightly share that decision with the rest of us.
