The FBI took on scandals in FIFA, I think they need to do the same of the UN

[shockedcanadian]

It is well known that FIFA was corrupt, there is a great documentary of the scandal on Netflix, called "Planet Fifa" that explains these abuses. Just as with all crimes that Americans investigate and maintain accountability for, Canada and European nations in particular, turn their head away from these systemic abuses.

Since America is paying so much towards the UN, is it time for there to be an oversight mechanism? If no mechanism can be achieved, I think the FBI should investigate this corrupt agency of conmen, bagmen, communist water carriers and entitled politicians. The world knows that the UN has abandoned principle some time ago, so let's pull the lid back and see what is going on.

Hey, Canadian. If I can find an idiot liberal to send to Canada, would you move down here? We are embracing common sense again, and you would be an asset.

Ex-Argentine soccer official found dead amid FIFA corruption trial
Nov. 15, 2017 -- A former Argentinian soccer official committed suicide -- the same day he was accused of taking bribes on the second day of a corruption trial in New York City.

Jorge Delhon was accused during testimony at trial Tuesday of accepting $500,000 a year from 2011 to 2014 to secure broadcasting rights to international soccer games. Delhon was found dead on railroad tracks in Buenos Aires. Officials believe he was hit by a train.

The 52-year-old attorney worked for Football For All, an Argentine government program which held broadcasting rights for national soccer games. Delhon's name was cited this week during the FIFA trial in New York City centering on Jose Maria Marin, the former head of Brazil's Football Confederation, Juan Ángel Napout, former Fifa vice-president and Manuel Braga, who led Peru's soccer federation.

One of the key witnesses in the case, Argentine sports marketing executive Alejandro Burzaco, was the one to name Delhon. Burzaco has already pleaded guilty to handing out millions of dollars in bribes.

A colleague of Delhon, Pablo Paladino, was also implicated, as was Julio Grondona, the long-time president of the Argentine Football Association. The former officials have been accused of taking bribes in exchange for lucrative broadcasting and hosting rights for major soccer tournaments.
