Valcke protests innocence over alleged 10 million dollar bribe
Jerome Valcke, FIFA's secretary general, insists he is innocent over allegations he was involved in an illegal $10 million payment.
FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke has distanced himself from allegations he was involved in a 10 million dollar payment to secure the 2010 World Cup for South Africa.
Last week, United States Department of Justice alleged the sum was paid as a bribe, with the New York Times reporting FIFA secretary general Valcke was responsible for transferring the funds to CONCACAF - then led by the indicted Jack Warner.
