Phaedra Almajid, a former senior figure in Qatar’s world cup bid team, who turned whistleblower to expose corruption and under FBI protection says Qatar is likely be stripped of the 2022 World Cup…
MailOnline reports that , “Almajid has been under protective custody of the FBI and she fears her safety will be compromised further if the tournament is taken away from the tiny oil-rich state, who shocked the world by winning the right to stage the 2022 event in 2010.
While hoping justice is done, Almajid admits that the prospect ‘scares me a lot’ because some ‘extremists’ may feel she played a role in that happening.”
Almajid stated that ‘there are people who are p***** off with me [for speaking out], and what really p***** them off is that I’m a female, Muslim whistleblower.’
On Sepp Blatter, Almajid said; ‘I just don’t think Blatter actually intends to quit. Everything he does is very calculated. He’ll try very hard to save himself, I’m sure of it.’
And that, Sepp Blatter may take away the 2022 world cup win from Qatar in order to save his face…
