Uproar as DOJ moves to drop FIFA corruption case week after Trump gets org’s ‘peace prize’
Political analysts dragged President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice on Wednesday after it moved to drop a corruption case against a former Fox executive who was convicted of bribery and money laundering charges.
The DOJ moved to drop its conviction of Hernán López, a former Fox executive who oversaw the network’s Latin American sports broadcasting business, who had been convicted of multiple crimes related to the FIFA corruption investigation that began in 2010. López was involved in a scheme to funnel millions of dollars to the heads of the international soccer organization in exchange for the rights to broadcast the World Cup and multiple high-profile tournaments in South America. He was convicted alongside a marketing company he worked with, Full Play Sports, in 2023, The New York Times reported.
Federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York wrote a letter to a federal judge arguing that dismissing López’s case was “in the interest of justice,” according to the NYT.
It was announced just days after FIFA gave the president its inaugural “peace prize.”
I feel like in an actually functional country, this sort of overt and blatant and unabashed bribery would’ve landed the participants in jail overnight without even needing a trial to find them guilty, but the former United States is not a functional country, so. Cos Mushroom Cock is not a man who’s ever going to turn down a “gift”, let’s face it, and the cult isn’t going to stop him…
