Swiss prosecutors drop 9-year World Cup ticketing probe into former FIFA boss Jérôme Valcke
October 14 – Almost a decade into a World Cup black market tickets investigation, the Swiss criminal case against former FIFA number two Jérôme Valcke, for years Sepp Blatter’s right-hand man, has finally been closed.
In 2016 after an initial suspension, FIFA dismissed Valcke and he was later banned from the game for 12 years after accusations that he sold blocks of World Cup tickets on the black market as well as allegations over abuse of expenses and corruption in the sale of TV rights.
