From Diego Maradona’s delight to the denials of regional football bosses, Latin America has lapped up the unfolding Fifa corruption scandal, which has almost exclusively embroiled officials and businessmen representing the region.
Maradona, who has long been at odds with the sport’s governing body said, “They called me mad but thankfully today the truth is out and I am enjoying it.”
All 18 figures named on the indictment are from the Americas: three Brazilians, three Argentinians, three from Trinidad and Tobago, two from the United States, and one each from Uruguay, Paraguay, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and the Cayman Islands. There is also an Englishman – Costa Takkas – who is a former secretary general of the football association of the Cayman Islands.
