Teixeira and Havelange received R$ 40 million from ISL.
Swiss authorities have released FIFA documents revealing corruption within the organization (see below); the documents detail the bribes that FIFA's marketing company, ISL, received and paid to officials.
247 - The Swiss Federal Court has released FIFA documents revealing corruption within the organization. The documents detail the bribes that FIFA's marketing company, ISL, received and paid to former CBF president Ricardo Teixeira and FIFA's honorary president, João Havelange.
According to the document, both received payments totaling 21 million Swiss francs (R$ 40 million) in bribes from ISL. The information was released in blog journalist Jamil Chade, who gave the link for the document.
Teixeira pocketed 12,74 million Swiss francs (R$ 26,5 million) through the company Sanud, whose connection to the football executive had already been established through the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into Football in the Senate. Renford Investments Ltd was another company, with links to Havelange and Teixeira, that received 5 million Swiss francs (R$ 10 million). The division of the money between the two in this case is unknown.
Swiss authorities are investigating a bribery case that occurred at FIFA between the 1990s and 2000s, a period when ISL was FIFA's main commercial partner. However, despite accusations by the Swiss newspaper "Handelszeitung" and the BBC involving Brazilian officials, the legal proceedings have always been kept secret. According to Jamil Chade's blog, "four Swiss newspapers and the BBC then filed an appeal to gain access to the documents, and the case reached the Swiss High Court. In the case of the local newspapers, it's not exactly Teixeira's name that interests them, but rather the transparency of the country's justice system."
