FIFA World Cup 2022 French prosecutors seek trial for four
The French National Financial Prosecutor's Office has requested the referral of four individuals to trial, including former FIFA official Reinald Tiemary and Qatari Mohamed bin Hammam, in connection with the awarding of the 2022 World Cup hosting rights to Qatar. Tiemary is accused of "passive private corruption," while bin Hammam faces charges of "active private corruption" and attempting to influence the vote in favor of Qatar by covering Tiemary’s legal defense costs, who was previously suspended for ethical violations within FIFA. The legal proceedings also involve an advisor and her former lawyer. These charges are part of investigations into corruption related to Qatar's hosting of the tournament, including allegations of manipulation and influence on voting outcomes.
