The international soccer organization FIFA has issued a report clearing Russia and Qatar of corruption in their bids for the World Cups in 2018 and 2022. The move came despite records of illegal payments by Qatari officials, which were noted in the report, and the destruction of computers and disappearance of emails related to Russia’s bid. The announcement caused an internal rift within FIFA after the investigator whose evidence was used in the report denounced the conclusions, calling them “incomplete and erroneous.”
