FIFA,SA to have separate investigations
ZURICH, Switzerland. July 7: Football's world governing body FIFA said Friday they were opening an internal in
quiry into Thursday's decision to award the 2006 World Cup to Germany, a spokesman for the world governing body told AFP.
In a separate announcement in Johannesburg South Africa's unsuccessful bid committee for the 2006 World Cup launched their own probe.
Irvin Khoza, president of the South African committee, said that the probe would centre on the abstention of New Zealand FIFA representative Charlie Dempsey in the crucial round of voting.
Meanwhile. FIFA communications director Keith Cooper Implied that Dempsey had received death threats prior to the vote.
The FIFA Inquiry, meanwhile. will be assisted by the German Football Federation (DFB) and the successful organising committee from Germany.
FIFA and the DFB held a meeting Friday morning and made the decision to launch an investigation together.
The FIFA delegation at the meeting was led by secretary general Michel Zen Ruffinen with what were described as high-level representatives of the German bid - former German football legend Franz Beckenbauer was not one of them, the FIFA source told AFP.
But the source added: "At the moment nothing is putting the decision to award the 2006 World Cup to Germany in question."
FIFA is in possession of 'material' - believed to be the photocopy of a fax - received by voting members of the executive committee. the spokesman said.
The fax will be central to the FIFA probe while the separate South African Investigation centres around the role of Dempsey.
However, the South African probe was closely tied to FIFA's own inquiry, member of the South African bld committee Raymond Hack told AFP afterwards.
"We will get information from FIFA before commenting on these allegations (of corruption) ... Everything is hearsay to us," he said.
The South African team had only heard of the allegations after they had left Zurich.
“If FIFA say, yes. the procedure was correct, then we will accept that." Hack added.
South Africa, the favoured candidate of FIFA president Sepp Blatter, had been hotly tipped to win the vote but 12 members of the executive body voted for Germany while 1 1 backed the South Africans in the final round of voting.
The decision of Dempsey to abstain proved decisive as a tieci 12-12 vote would have left Blatter with the casting vote - which J would have gone to South Africa.
FIFA communications director Keith Cooper, speaking during a BBC Radio 5 Live phone-in. hinted that Dempsey may have received death threats ahead of Thursday's executive committee meeting.
Cooper, who attended the meeting, said: "Charlie referred at the beginning of the meeting to legal advice which he had taken because of the difficult personal situation he found
himself in and I would absolutely subscribe to the description of intolerable unbearable personal pressure."
Asked to detail the manner of the pressure Dempsey was under. Cooper said: "If you think of your own personal safety and that of the people who are close and dear to you."
When asked if Cooper meant death threats, he replied: "If you -want to Interpret it that way 1 would not disagree with it."
Blatter had staked his presidency on having the World Cup played on African soil for the first time and was voted FIFA president in 1998 on that promise.
Since the vote it has been revealed that Dempsey had been ordered by the Oceania Football Confederation and New Zealand politicians to back South Africa in the second round after supporting England in the first.
His failure to back the South African bid met with consternation in New Zealand.
The country's sports minister Trevor Mallard branded Dempsey. 78, "an international embarrassment".
"I'm shocked that one Individual seems to have abused his voting right by disregarding instructions on voting requirements." he said.
"As Oceania’s representative. Mr Dempsey was under Instruction to support the South African bid. once England had dropped out of the ballot.
"Though his abandonment of his delegation. Mr Dempsey has damaged the International reputation of the entire country as well as the sport of soccer in New Zealand.”
New Zealand's Prime Minister Helen Clark said she was upset by the result having already expressed the government's support lor the South Afi kan bld. She telephoned South African President Thabo Mbeki to commiserate.
Mallard also feared that the ties between New Zealand and South Africa had been damaged.
"While formal support for South Africa was not within the Government's authority, the outcome reflects badly on us and our close bilateral relationship particularly in the sporting arena." Mallard said.
Dempsey told New Zealand's TV3 while in transit In Singapore he had been under "unsustainable pressure" when he decided not to vote but would not reveal who he was being pressured by.
Dempsey, who faces the sack as Oceania Football Confederation president, said he would make a statement after meeting his executive committee.
Mark Burgess, New Zealand's representative on the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC), said the Scots-born Dempsey, 78. had not followed Instructions given Io him at the Confederation's meeting in Samoa in May.
