New football affair

Yesterday the Uruguayan lawyer Juan Pedro Damiani, who was also an FIFA ethics committee member, was internally investigated by the organization. Today the news is that Damiani with the ex-FIFA vice president Eugenio Figueredo over Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca controlled about seven off-shore companies. Countryman Figueredo is charged with money laundering, bribe, corruption and financial fraud.
The company is helping clients how to launder money and avoid tax. Out of 11.5 million page documents and 2.6 terabytes of data leaked from Mossack Fonseca the client's list is huge: from world known politicians and their relatives to football players, like Michel Platini, Lionel Messi, Ivan Zamorano, Darko Kovacevic, Gabriel Heinze plus 20 other names. Each one of them are accused of tax evasion in the countries where they live.
