I've seen people say that a few times. Why wouldn't they extradite? Is there an applicable exemption in the extradition treaty, assuming it's not deemed politically motivated and there is clear dual criminality? Which article?
Once again can people get some perspective. A VERY common political tactic is to bring up an investigation directly before an election, it puts dirt on the people being 'investigated' but hasn't proven a single thing. You do this literally days before an election for really one reason and one reason alone... you have no case and you're just trying to have an influence on an election. If there was a genuine case it's more likely this would have come months/years ago and simply have had Blatter in jail/out of Fifa long before any elections.
US's Fifa guy is pretty much the single most guilty guy who worked alongside Warner. Us's guy is dodgy, US had a bid, US lost a bid, US is upset and boom, investigation days before an election trying to remove Blatter. No one sees the timing as just slightly dodgy?
Other simple thing to point out is Fifa is made up of members from other federations. The single most corrupt Federation has been Concacaf with Warner and Blazer being the lead most corrupt people. Warner being from T&T and Blazer being the US guy. Blazer helped Warner get elected to Concacaf president and Warner than appointed Blazer his deputy.
Concacaf is controlled by Fifa, they are who Fifa have to work with. Effectively if the US elect Blazer as their representative, he goes to FIfa meetings but away from Fifa his vote is for sale... why are we blaming Blatter rather than the US federation for electing and sticking with Blazer for years?
People who sell their vote who are in Fifa because their areas federations are putting them there, Fifa should investigate and maybe better than they do, but so should every other organisation. Everyone wants to blame Blatter alone while acting like Uefa, the FA and everyone else is innocent and Blatter is randomly going around holding meetings paying off people for their votes. It's perfectly possible he is but why would Nike for instance pay Blatter to then pay other people to buy their votes when they can go direct to people like Warner/Blazer and buy their votes?
Almost everyone involved is corrupt in some way including the FA and Uefa. The issue here is initiating an investigation and making arrests days before an election is an extremely blatant attempt to effect the election.... that itself is corruption. A strong case with clear evidence could have been made 6 months ago with convictions, court cases and leaks about actual evidence made knocking Blatter out of the election process completely. Doing it days before suggests they have little to nothing.
