Clinton Foundation copycat: South African official asks FIFA to channel funds
2015-06-07
[AP] Johannesburg -- A South African newspaper on Friday published a 2007 letter linking the country's chief World Cup organizer to a $10 million payment made to projects linked to Jack Warner, then a FIFA executive and now a suspect in a corruption probe.

In the letter published by the Mail and Guardian newspaper, Danny Jordaan, then-head of South Africa's World Cup organizing committee, says the money should be paid by FIFA, not the South African government. U.S. investigators have accused unnamed South African officials of channeling $10 million through FIFA to Warner as a bribe for backing the country's successful World Cup bid.
