CAF president Issa Hayatou was prominent among the six FIFA executive committee members accused of ethical misconduct in the bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups during a British parliamentary hearing into soccer on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Member of Parliament Damian Collins said that unpublished evidence from an investigation by The Sunday Times newspaper shows that Issa Hayatou of Cameroon and Jacques Anouma of Cote\u2019d Ivoire\u00a0 were paid $1.5 million to vote for Qatar.<\/p>\n

The allegations were made in the Culture, Media and Sport Committee of the House of Commons, which is looking at England\u2019s failed bid for the 2018 World Cup as part of a wider inquiry into soccer governance.<\/p>\n

The committee also heard from the former head of England\u2019s bid, who described the conduct of Jack Warner, Nicolas Leoz, Ricardo Teixeira and Worawi Makudi in the 2018 contest as \u201cimproper and unethical.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Zurich, FIFA President Sepp Blatter said he will ask for evidence of the claims made in the committee hearing and forward any allegations to the FIFA ethics committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot say they are all angels or they are all devils,\u201d he said of the executive members.
\u201cWe must have the evidence and then we will act immediately against all those (who) would be in breach of the ethical code rules,\u201d Blatter added.<\/p>\n

The bidding contest was rocked ahead of the December vote by an undercover investigation by The Sunday Times that led to the suspension of two of FIFA\u2019s 24 executive committee members.<\/p>\n

Amos Adamu of Nigeria was found guilty by FIFA\u2019s ethics court of soliciting bribes from undercover reporters, while Reynald Temarii of Tahiti was banned for breaching rules on confidentiality and loyalty.<\/p>\n

Some of the British newspaper\u2019s evidence was never published and it was sent to legislators Monday to be made public using parliamentary privilege.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Sunday Times\u2019 submission, and this is to be published by us later, claims that $1.5 million was paid to FIFA executive committee members Issa Hayatou and Jacques Anouma, who went on to vote for Qatar,\u201d Collins said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
