Requirements: ePUB/MOBI reader, .6 MB
Overview: Andrew Jennings presents investigation films for BBC-TV, has written five books on corruption and thousands of articles for newspapers, magazines and academic journals. Foul! — his first investigation of FIFA corruption has been published in 16 languages since 2006. Blatter went to court in Switzerland to have it banned – and failed!
Andrew has won numerous awards for his journalism and lectures world-wide on corruption and investigation techniques. Sepp Blatter banned him from FIFA press conferences in 2003 when Andrew disclosed that football’s President pays himself a huge secret bonus every year.
Omertà’s Foreword is by former football star, Romario, now a Congressman in Brasilia.
The cover illustration is by Olé Anderson. In 2013 Blatter persuaded a court to ban Olé’s cartoons in Switzerland.

‘In Omertà I show that the leadership of FIFA, under Brazil’s João Havelange and now Sepp Blatter, tick all the boxes defining an Organised Crime Syndicate,’ says Andrew Jennings.‘My investigations took me from confronting the Mafia in Palermo, to FIFA’s glass and marble palace in Zurich, then to the gang wars in Rio, following the trail of briefcases stuffed with gold bars.
‘I had wonderful help and encouragement in Brazil from activists, reporters, fans, academics, police, prosecutors, a brave woman judge, honest politicians – and one of Brazil’s greatest ever footballers.
‘The 2014 FIFA World Cup will be played against a backdrop of the rage of more than half of Brazil’s football-loving population. If demonstrators are killed by the out-of-control riot police, the responsibility rests with Sepp Blatter who years ago endorsed the corruption now engulfing the tournament.
‘In the 1990s I investigated the International Olympic Committee, police corruption and Organised Crime. During breaks I reported from wars in Beirut, Chechnya and Central America. Then it was time to investigate Sepp Blatter’s FIFA, grown fat from bountiful World Cup TV and marketing revenues and not scrutinised by the sports media.
