FIFA 'Secretary General' Jerome Valcke: ”in a democracy, everyone is innocent until proven guilty”

Jerome, surely you read the papers - that's what we do in Brasil, we find them, prove them guilty and sack them - one after another, after another, after another
. . . Ricardo will be afforded the same protective treatment as any other 'Secretary General' or politician, and then he, like the rest of them, will find himself out on his ear and probably in jail.

In Brasil, Brasilian Law trumps FIFA-Law. . . . .or at leat that is the aspiration.
