Jack Warner says he has passed on evidence that
implicates Fifa and Sepp Blatter in involvement in
the Trinidad and Tobago elections in 2010.
The former Fifa vice-president was one of 14
people indicted by the United States Department o
Justice last week in a move that preceded Friday's
when re-elected Blatter revealed his decision to
quit four days later.
Warner has said he has evidence of "a link
between Fifa, its funding and me, the link between
Fifa, its funding and the United National Congress
and The People's Partnership Government in
general election 2010", while the 72-year-old also
indicated his documents directly implicate Blatter.
"It also deals with my knowledge of international
transactions at Fifa, including its president Mr Sep
Blatter and, lastly, other matters involving the
nation's current prime minister," Warner said in a
address televised on TV6 .
The ex-Fifa official then claimed he has protected
Fifa from his allegations for now, but he is ready t
turn on his former employer now that he is
implicated in corrupt activity.
"I have, in these circumstances, decided that I will
no longer keep secrets for them who now seek to
actively destroy this country in which I live, who
seek to destroy this country's hard-won
international image, this country's fate," he
continued.
"I have no intention of allowing them to deprive m
of my freedom.
"I reasonably and surely fear for my life.
"I have, as promised, compiled a comprehensive
and detailed series of documents, including
cheques and corroborated statements, and placed
them in different and respected hands.
"I have, in effect, placed the outcome of those
matters beyond even my own reach. Retracting
them is now an impossibility. There can be no
turning back.
"Not even death will stop the avalanche that is
coming. The die is cast. There can be no turning
back. Let the chips fall where they fall."
