“賄選丑聞”英文怎么說
摘要:布拉特此前曾宣布要調(diào)查卡塔爾世界杯賄選丑聞,并且威脅稱要剝奪卡塔爾2022年世界杯的舉辦權(quán)。但在通過這一系列手段成功除掉自己連任的唯一對手哈曼,并且在聽證會上逃脫哈曼對他的反訴調(diào)查后,老布的態(tài)度立即來了個180度大轉(zhuǎn)彎?!∧阒涝趺从糜⒄Z表達(dá)嗎?
A bribery scandal led to two senior FIFA executives being suspended - Bin Hammam and Vice-president Jack Warner.
President Blatter denied FIFA was in crisis and rejected suggestions that the vote for the 2022 World Cup - controversially awarded to the oil-rich Gulf state of Qatar - should be held again amid mounting allegations of bribery involving the bid.
