After corruption comes...corruption

Probably nothing has been learned by FIFA all these years. We knew that the organization was going through a tough period, lots of changes inside have been made, vowed to do things for the better of this sport, but after couple of (those) years everything stayed the same.
Professor Doctor Sundra Rajoo was arrested in Malaysia last Tuesday night on corruption charges. This name may be not familiar to all, except that he is working at FIFA ethics committee judge, who was detained into his own country after arriving from Zurich. The official is investigated due to his director role at the International arbitration centre in Asia (which resigned the next day), and not for the FIFA position. Just staying overnight in detention. he was immediately released past Wednesday, because the court has accepted the documents that the official has 'diplomatic immunity and high privileges'.
