FIFA has informed its former president Sepp Blatter and other former association representatives. He accuses them of having squandered more than 500 million francs on the prestigious Zurich-Enge museum. According to a FIFA lawyer, the complaint was delivered yesterday to Department III of the Zurich Prosecutor’s Office, responsible for economic crimes. In it, the world soccer association assumes false business management and additional alleged criminal acts by Blatter and other suspects.
The now 84-year-old from Valais and the global association he has long led originally planned a museum next to the headquarters at the Zurich Zoo. But in 2013 they switched to a project in a haunted house near the Enge train station. A long-unoccupied Swiss Life insurance building was heavily remodeled. The goal was for the “Hall of Fame” to be completed with Blatter’s re-election in 2015.
