Scandal splits Brazil's stars

By Reuters In Sao Paulo | China Daily | Updated: 2015-06-12 07:45

The arrest of one former Brazilian soccer boss and an investigation into at least one other has divided some of the country's sporting giants.

Former top stars Romario, Ronaldo and Cafu have all chimed in about the FIFA corruption scandal since the former head of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), Jose Maria Marin, was one of seven FIFA executives jailed in Switzerland late last month.

Marin, also a member of the FIFA organizing committee for soccer in the Olympics, is in a Zurich prison, where he faces possible extradition to the US to face racketeering and bribery charges.
