ZURICH (AP) — The anti-corruption expert FIFA appointed to advise Sepp Blatter on cleaning up world soccer’s governing body says he will address previous allegations of wrongdoing.
Responding to attacks on his integrity, Mark Pieth says looking at FIFA’s past is “necessary” to understand the “risk scenarios.”
The Basel University professor says his Independent Governance Committee has “absolutely no objection to an investigation.”
Former FIFA consultants Transparency International left Blatter’s reform process last week, claiming Pieth’s panel was not truly independent.
