In Brazil they prepare to conclude the Mafioso spider's web; they level facilities of the CBF

México. -   Red card for the former executive of the Brazilian Confederation of Soccer (CBF), Jose Maria Marin (JMM) Dilma Rousseff president's enemy (DR) and collaborator of the dictatorship military detainee in Switzerland together with other hierarchies of the FIFA. The scandal shook the Brazilian Parliament, where the former crack Romario formed a commission to investigate the Mafioso plot in which the current boss of the CBF would be and it would sprinkle to the chain Globe. "I believe that all investigation on this topic is very important, but if it is necessary to investigate that is made in all the cups of the world", Rousseff sustained before the ministry of Justice announced the first contacts with American officials. As part of that disposition of dismantling the spider's web formed by football directing, managers and political, the government leveled the headquarters of the CBF in River of Janeiro: an expensive, recently built building in whose front shone Jose Maria Marin name in metallic letters that were retired on Wednesday. In that way the president demonstrated that from the Planalto Palace, government headquarters, doesn't exist any complicity with the imputed Marin neither with the CBF, both historically habituated to receive favors of the State.   Corrupt the leaders  To Marin who also commanded the organizing committee of the Cup of the World of 2014, he is accused of having charged millions of dollars of bribes, it parts of which came from the Traffic marketing company, old partner of the multimedia Globe that dominates the market of news and Brazilian entertainments, like Televisa Co makes in Mexico. Or worse, because in this country the market competition comparable to TVAzteca doesn't exist. Rousseff, political prisoner during the military régime, “never demonstrated to have some sympathy for Marin, a seriously person committed with the repression in the seventies". Lidice da Mata (LDM) this senator says that after signing the order for the creation of the Parliamentary Commission of Investigations (CPI) about the dirty business of the soccer.  Marin had assumed the conduction of the CBF unexpectedly in March of 2012, happening to Ricardo Teixeira, forced to leave the position when they took public state the tests on the bribes that it got paid next to its old father-in-law Joao Havelange, boss of the FIFA between 1974 and 1998. Senator LDM remembers that he was DR not very pleasant to have to meet with Teixeira and Joseph Blatter, but the most indigestible thing was surely to have to receive Marin". The former guerilla DR made know, through its collaborators in the Palace of Planalto the scorn that you caused him the man that controlled the reins of the soccer after having lent services to the facto government, where you acting as governor of Sao Paulo State, the richest and town of the country.     Not only that. DR never forgot the complicity for well-known for all that had Marin with journalist Vladimir Herzog's murder -bound to the Communist Party - and other deaths, tortures and detentions", the senator adds. Due to this present, in 2013 the Herzog’s family impelled, next to Romario, an official petition so that Marin was said dismissed of the Organizing Committee of the Cup. This petition picked up more than 60 thousand signatures, including those of intellectuals and artists, as Chico Buarque, but it was not able to demolish Marin. For the Brazilian president the apprehension carried out by the Swiss police last Wednesday is a backing that strengthens it in its bereavement with the cartolas (old caciques of the Brazilian soccer) contrary to any reformation that it threatens its power in the CBF. The current leader of the CBF, Marco Polo del Nero, integrates that almost Sicilian brotherhood of which they were part Jose Maria Marin, Joao Havelange and Ricardo Teixeira who during a couple of years you "exiled" in Miami, fearful that some judicial process opened up in Brazil, something that never happened.     Complicities in the soccer  Wednesday in the night, hours after the arrest of the leaders in Zurich, Romario picked up 52 signatures (27 are needed) for the formation of the CPI that was formally created on Thursday. "The presence of Romario in the Congress has been very positive; he was an idol of the Brazilian town, a much respected crack. He is exercising their parliamentary command with seriousness denouncing what happens in the soccer. This task had begun a couple of years ago when from its armchair in the House of Deputies accused Marin and Blatter". Romario, world champion in 1994 in The States, and Diego Maradona crowned in Mexico 1986, they left aside the rivalry between Brazilian and Argentinean in 2013 to head an international encounter for the reformation of the football institutions. Both, they manifested similar opinions against the FIFA this week again, soon after of being known the police razzia in the hotel of Zurich where they were detained JMM and others invited to the Congress of Blatter. "I consider very important that big former players, be pronounced on the FIFA, because this help to clarify the great public that trusts their idols", and “perhaps the facts of this week are the beginning of a process that it can bring more novelties."     The parliamentarian understands that if you continue with the verifications “it is not necessary to discard that they are things that complicate them the life to Marco Polo del Nero, because he is not unaware to the group that managed the soccer every year. Del Nero he was vice-president of the CBF, when JMM was a president", the position that left in April of this year. As long as, the CPI of the Brazilian Senate will have own documents to dismantle the lattice concocted during decades. In Brazil they don't wait that, in short term, arrive sensitive information from The States where the process is aided under the summary secret. It is known even this way that one of the sources that supplied from information to the procurators American was the Brazilian manager Jose Hawilla, proprietor of the agency Traffic, possessor of the rights of transmission of several international events. With this agency, former employee of TV Globo this character kneaded a fortune where he buys and sells players whose rate increases when they are summoned to defend the green-yellow shirt of the national selection. On the other hand Blatter was chosen in 1998, and it had to fight to be imposed in an organization accustomed to 24 years of leadership of Joao Havelange. On the process of 1998, David Yellop wrote a book, How they have faked the party, accusing to the group of Blatter of practical corrupt on the candidate, Lennart Johannson, previously president of the UEFA.   In 2002 it had a hard challenge to get the first reelection, when meeting with attacks of several members of their executive committee and of the then general secretary, Michael Zen-Ruffinen that spoke of manipulation of the bills of the organism and financial irregularities. He won without problems (139 votes against 56) to their rival of that election in Seoul, the Cameroonian Issa Hayatou, and president of the African Confederation of soccer (CAF). Nobody impeded the continuity in 2007, when it was candidate unique, but four years ago, on 61 Congress in 2011, the corruption was topic of corridors and debates before its reelection. The one that will be their rival, the Qatari Mohammed Bin Hamman, was forced to retire some days before the voting, after a case of corruption for payment of bribes. Blatter converged in solitary to the elections and he autoproclaim captain in the storm. The former directive of the Switzerland Federation of Hockey of Ice entered in 1975, when it was managing of public relationships and deport of the trademark of clocks Longines. When it finishes their reign in 2019 it will be 83 years old, indefatigable before the meetings and hours of flight, it will be able to with the package. (La Jornada, politica, p.p. 3-4, May 30, 2015)
