ONE of Fifa's most senior executives could profit by more than €14.5m from World Cup ticket sales in a scandal that will horrify supporters.
In a move that has caused outrage in Trinidad & Tobago, the Caribbean nation's entire ticket allocation has gone to a travel agency owned by Jack Warner, a Fifa vice-president who is also the president of CONCACAF and a special advisor to the Trinidad & Tobago FA.
Mr Warner (62) is a director of the agency, Simpaul Travel Services Limited which is not selling individual match tickets, but rather 'travel packages' that include tickets and accommodation.
Basic packages cost $30,000 in local currency (€3,970). The face value of the three tickets for Trinidad & Tobago's group games combined - against England, Paraguay and Sweden - is a maximum of €290.
Simpaul stand to make around €2,400 profit per package. (© Independent News Service)
