Football: Fifa bribe allegations raise more questions over Qatar World Cup

NEW YORK - The 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the only major scheduled football event left unchanged after this year's calendar was wrecked by the coronavirus, has become the focus of fresh Fifa corruption allegations after the release of a new US Department of Justice charge.

The allegations made by the Department of Justice are that then Fifa vice-president Jack Warner was paid US$5 million through various shell companies to vote for Russia to host the 2018 World Cup. "Ricardo Teixeira, Nicolas Leoz and co-conspirator #1 were offered and received bribe payments in exchange for their votes in favour of Qatar to host the 2022 World Cup."
