Written evidence submitted by Sepp Blatter,
President of FIFA
Zurich, 19 May 2011
Your letter dated 11 May 2011
I acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 11 May
2011 and have duly taken note of its contents.
As you know, FfFA has already asked both The Football
Association and The Sunday Times for a report regarding
the latest allegations questioning the integrity of some FIFA
Executive Committee members in connection with the bidding procedure
concerning the 2018/2022 FIFA World CupsTM. Once we
have received all relevant reports, we will then decide about
the next steps to be taken, based on the evidence provided to
us and will inform you accordingly. Therefore, there is no need
for me to come to your Committee.
You will surely understand that FIFA is focusing
on its own investigation. Finally, please be informed that the
letter sent by MP Ivan Lewis dated 10 December 2010 was answered
by FIFA on 20 December 2010, contrary to what was stated in your
report.
I thank you for your attention.
Joseph S. Blatter
