The World association football governing body has been hit with a new bribery scandal after court documents reveal Trinidad and Tobago's Jack Warner was paid $5 million to back Russia for the 2018 World cup. 

It is also claimed Rafael Salguero who served on Fifa’s executive committee was promised a $1m bribe to vote for Russia.England’s bid spearheaded by FA president Prince William only got two out of 22 votes.

The US DOJ alleges Brazilian Ricardo Teixeira and Paraguayan Nicolas Leoz received bribes to vote for Qatar in 2022.

United States Department of Justice papers published last night stated that Warner was among several committee members offered bribes in connection with their votes for Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022.

Warner was apparently sent the cash in or about and between November 2010 and April 2011 from ten different offshore shell companies via more than two dozen separate wire transfers into an account he controlled at a Trinidad and Tobago bank.
