Restoring Trust in Fifa

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The president of Fifa, Sepp Blatter, has promised to restore trust in soccer's governing body, but how are the global businesses that sponsor football reacting to reports of fraud. We hear from professor Alan Tomlinson, the author of Fifa: The Men the Myths and the Money. Greenpeace in India had its bank accounts frozen in April after a leaked intelligence report claimed the campaign group was unpatriotic and bad for the economy. The freeze was temporarily removed this week, but Areeba Hamid, a Greenpeace campaigner, tells us how its operations have been affected in India. Australia's richest woman, the mining magnate Gina Rinehart, has lost control of the family trust, which is worth billions of dollars. Louise Hall from the Sydney Morning Herald explains the background to a family row that has played out very publicly in court.
