Prof. Avv. Massimo Coccia, LL.M. Madrid, 29 de marzo de 2014 Laudos TAS sobre Fútbol 13
14 II. A Virtual Corruption Case In 2011, 3 members of the FIFA Executive Committee Amos Adamu (Nigeria), Amadou Diakite (Mali) and Ahongalu Fusimalohi (Tonga) appealed to the CAS against the decisions of the FIFA Appeal Committee imposing on them a ban from any football-related activity at national and international level for 3 years and a fine of CHF 10,000 The specificity of these 3 cases lies in the fact that the Appellants were filmed and recorded by hidden cameras and recorders, while meeting twice with undercover Sunday Times journalists posing as lobbyists trying to support the US bid for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups. Those recordings were given by the Sunday Times to FIFA and were the basis of those cases Prof. Avv. Massimo Coccia, LL.M. Madrid, 29 de marzo de 2014 Laudos TAS sobre Fútbol 14

Massimo Coccia, LL.M. Madrid, 29 de marzo de 2014 Laudos TAS sobre Fútbol 15
16 II. A Virtual Corruption Case On 17 October 2010, the British weekly newspaper Sunday Times published an article entitled Foul play threatens England s Cup bid; Nations spend vast amounts in an attempt to be named World Cup host but as insight finds, $ 800,000 offered to a FIFA official can be far more effective The newspaper reported strong suspicions of corruption in connection with the tender process to host the World Cups and concluded that it was more effective and cheaper to obtain the organization of the World Cup by offering bribes than by presenting a serious bid The covert inquiry was conducted by some Sunday Times journalists who approached several FIFA executives pretending to be lobbyists working for a private company allegedly named Franklin Jones, hired by US companies eager to secure deals to unofficially support the official bids presented by the US federation Prof. Avv. Massimo Coccia, LL.M. Madrid, 29 de marzo de 2014 Laudos TAS sobre Fútbol 16

In the Summer of 2010 the reporters obtained to organize two meetings with Mr Adamu, one in London and one in Cairo On 31 August 2010, in a London hotel bar, Mr Adamu met the two undercover reporters allegedly working for Franklin Jones. The conversation lasted about 45 minutes On 15 September 2010, in the garden bar of a hotel in Cairo, Mr Adamu had another meeting with the undercover journalists. The conversation lasted about 30 minutes Prof. Avv. Massimo Coccia, LL.M. Madrid, 29 de marzo de 2014 Laudos TAS sobre Fútbol 18
19 II. A Virtual Corruption Case On 1 October 2010, the FIFA Secretary General warned all FIFA ExCo members (by and DHL) of the fact that a company operating under the name Franklin Jones had recently approached various ExCo members offering support for football development programs in case the US won the bid Mr Adamu claimed that he had not read such communication from FIFA until the late morning of 14 October 2010, as he had been visiting his farm in a remote place of Nigeria, where he allegedly had no access to his s and could not be reached by phone or in any other manner On 14 October 2010, the Sunday Times informed by Mr Adamu that an article was about to be published reporting his meetings and his acceptance to sell his vote in favour of the US bid, making clear that the meetings had been filmed and recorded Prof. Avv. Massimo Coccia, LL.M. Madrid, 29 de marzo de 2014 Laudos TAS sobre Fútbol 19
20 Legal Issues of the Adamu/Diakite/Fusimalohi cases: FIFA violation of due process and power of review of CAS Admissibility of the evidence: Legal nature of disciplinary proceedings (criminal or civil?) Illegality of the recordings? Applicability of the FIFA rules on evidence Protection of Mr Adamu s personality rights The balance between Mr Adamu s and other private or public interest; art. 28 Swiss CC: «1. Any person whose personality rights are unlawfully infringed may apply to the court for protection against all those causing the infringement. 2. An infringement is unlawful unless it is justified by the consent of the person whose rights are infringed or by an overriding private or public interest or by law.» Merits II.

Massimo Coccia, LL.M. Madrid, 29 de marzo de 2014 Laudos TAS sobre Fútbol 25
26 III.
