Anonymous Telegram account indicates emails for sale after reports emerge of dossier on how to bribe Fifa officials
An anonymously run Telegram account has indicated that it wants to sell a tranche of emails relating to Russia’s 2018
World Cup bid, after reports that they contain a dossier compiled by
Russian officials on how to bribe Fifa executive council members.
The existence of the emails was first reported by the investigative website the Insider. According to the Insider, an aide to the former footballer Franz Beckenbauer promised to deliver his vote in exchange for “generous compensation for his consulting services”, later specified as at least €3m.
