A view of a villa in Porto Cervo on the Italian Sardinia island seized by the Italian Police. The villa, valued at seven million euros ($8.3 million) , was allegedly how a Qatari television executive bribed a top FIFA official. Italian police said Friday, Oct. 13, 2017 they seized the luxury property in Sardinia they claim Nasser al-Khelaifi, who is also president of Paris Saint-Germain, made available to former FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke. Details of the alleged corruption were revealed one day after Swiss federal prosecutors oversaw evidence-gathering raids in four European countries for a widening investigation of FIFA and the 2018-2022 World Cup bidding contests won by Russia and Qatar.
