In a televised address made in his native Trinidad and Tobago, former FIFA vice president Jack Warner said that he will reveal all that he knows about corruption at FIFA despite fearing for his life.
Warner, 72, was one of the 14 people indicted last week by the United States Department of Justice and has been accused of racketeering, money laundering, wire fraud and bribery. He served as a member of the FIFA Executive committee from 1983 to 2011 and was the president of CONCACAF, the governing body for soccer in North America and the Carribbean, from 1990 to 2011.
"I reasonably and surely fear for my life," said Warner during a paid political ad, titled "Jack Warner: The Gloves are Off."
Warner claims to have given documents, including checks and corroborated statements, to lawyers which reveal links between Sepp Blatter, FIFA, himself and a 2010 election in Trinidad and Tobago.
"There can be no turning back," said Warner.
"I will no longer keep secrets for them who actively seek to destroy the country's hard-won international image," said Warner. "The gloves are off."
Warner has been ridiculed throughout the world this past week after using a satirical article by The Onion in order to defend himself.
