FIFA corruption scandal

FIFA President Sepp Blatter

Officials at FIFA engaged in a 24-year scheme to enrich themselves through the corruption of international soccer.

Corruption can span large groups—such as organizations or even the populations of entire nations—if the majority of the people within them find bribery and other forms of corruption to be commonplace.

Organizations with widespread corruption typically develop cultures that justify and encourage corruption, often so much that corruption becomes routine and isn't viewed as an offense.

Corruption can also involve racketeering, wire fraud, money laundering and income tax evasion.
