Former FIFA Vice President Jack Warner accused world soccer’s governing body and its departing president, Sepp Blatter, of influencing his native Trinidad’s general election in 2010. In a televised address in Trinidad on Wednesday, Mr. Warner said he feared for his life after compiling a series of documents that he alleges prove links between FIFA and his nation’s government.
Here is his account
“It also deals with my knowledge of international transactions at FIFA, including—but not limited to—its president, Mr. Sepp Blatter, and, lastly, other matters involving the nation’s current prime minister.”
Mr. Blatter, FIFA’s long-running president, resigned on Tuesday, just days after being re-elected as chief of the world’s soccer governing body. He wasn’t named in the indictment.
