FIFA Domenico Scala

Mr Blatter: Mr Blatter resigned after multiple FIFA executives were arrested and accused of involvement in multi-million dollar bribes exchanged over the past two decades, according to Nine News Australia. FIFA have repeatedly said the 79-year-old will continue in office until a successor is announced. Swiss newspaper Schwiez am Sonntag cited an anonymous source close to Mr Blatter as saying he had not ruled out the prospect of going back on his decision to resign after receiving messages of support from Asian and African federations. Domenico Scala, the head of FIFA audit and compliance unit, said that changes at the top of world football governing body were necessary. That is why I think it is clearly indispensable to follow through with the initiated process of president change as it has been announced."On Thursday, the European Parliament called on Mr Blatter to step down immediately and allow for an interim leader to launch reforms in the organisation. For me, the reforms are the central topic," he said in a statement. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
