Madrid, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Oct, 2017 ) :FIFA's number two Fatma Samoura does not believe criminal investigations over the sale of World Cup rights to the Qatari-owned beIN Media group will jeopardise Qatar's hosting of the 2022 World Cup.
Last week Swiss prosecutors said a criminal corruption probe targeting Paris Saint-Germain president and beIN media chief, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, and disgraced former FIFA executive Jerome Valcke had been launched over the sale of media rights for World Cups 2018-2030.
"I hope that the ongoing investigations will not disrupt the organisation of this World Cup," Samoura told AFP in an exclusive interview on Tuesday.
