Sepp Blatter

Born in Wallis, Switzerland in 1935, Joseph Sepp Blatter was elected president of FIFA in 1998. His election and victory over UEFA President Lennart Johansson[?] were marked with controversy. His incumbency has been marked with rumors of financial irregularities and backroom dealings, culminating in 2002 with direct accusations of bribery made in the press by the Somali[?] FA member Farra Ado[?] of an offer of $100,000 to vote for Blatter.
