Kfouri comments on the Globo scandal: here, everyone denies it.

"Regarding Brazil, TV Globo not only denies paying bribes to football executives but also reports having conducted an internal investigation and heard from its former executive in the area, Marcelo Campos Pinto, that he never paid a penny outside of contracts, in addition to making himself available to the American Justice system, 'as a matter of honor.' Campos Pinto could not be reached today by 'Jornal Nacional,' nor could Ricardo Teixeira," comments journalist Juca Kfouri.

247 - Journalist Juca Kfouri also commented on the Globo case and ironically noted that Jornal Nacional couldn't even find its former director in the report it did on the matter.

Below are excerpts from his article published on UOL:

Those accused today in the New York court trying the FIFA scandal either deny the charges or are hiding.

With regard to Brazil, TV Globo not only denies having paid bribes to football executives but also reports having conducted an internal investigation and heard from its former executive in the area, Marcelo Campos Pinto, that he never paid a penny outside of the contracts, in addition to making itself available to the American Justice system, "as a matter of honor."

Campos Pinto could not be reached today by "Jornal Nacional," nor could Ricardo Teixeira.

Finally, Temer denies it, Aécio denies it, Gedel denies it, Padilha denies it, Moreira Franco denies it, and Lula also denies it.

Who can we believe?

In Brazil, delays occur.

Not in the United States.
