Which way will they jump if the embattled FIFA president Sepp Blatter gets
his fifth term on Friday?
.
You might say that the controversy around FIFA is heating up this week.
.
Thats meant to be a reference to the heat in Qatar, where the 2022 World
Cup is set to take placebut the dangerously high summer temperatures there
are the least of FIFAs worries now. After years of allegations around the
accepting of bribes for World Cup bids, the U.S. Department of Justice
brought the hammer down on FIFA Wednesday morning with indictments for
nine FIFA officials and five associated sports marketing executives.
.
The charges include racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering. But
this particular crackdown, for now, does not appear to be concerned with a
more urgent and upsetting issue: the labor conditions in Qatar, where a
large part of overall construction activity (but, admittedly, by no means
all of it) is accounted for by the new World Cup stadia and related
infrastructure.
.
There have already been more than 1,400 worker deaths at Qatars hot,
unsafe building sites since 2010, and the International Trade Union
Confederation, in a report entitled, The Case Against Qatar, suggests
there will be another 4,000 deaths before the Cup in 2022, if the
situation there continues unchecked. Most of the migrants are desperately
poor Indians and Nepalis who are often required to surrender their
passports when they arrive, leaving them at the mercy of employers for the
length of their contracts (which can run up to five years).
