Documents Show Former FIFA Vice President Bin Hamman Paid £3m As Bribes To Support Qatar 2022 World Cup Bid

Documents are reported to have been obtained that prove that a former member of FIFA's executive committee made payments totalling £3million to senior football officials in return for
support for Qatar's successful bid for the 2022 World Cup.







Under a front-page headline of 'Plot to buy the World Cup,' The Sunday Times alleges that Mohamed Bin Hammam, a Qatari who used to be a FIFA vice president, was lobbying on his
country's behalf ahead of the vote in December 2010.






The newspaper alleges that Bin Hammam made dozens of payments to top football officials in Africa as well as Jack Warner and Reynald Temarii, former FIFA executive committee members for CONCACAF and Oceania.





The allegations come less than two weeks before the start of the World Cup in Brazil.
