Football,
which has experienced an astounding transformation to a global industry with
significant economic impact, has been a vehicle for the transmission of
cultural and universal values. Its structural complexity (players, transferagents, clubs and its owners, right holders of different contracts) creates a
lot of moving parts that can easily hide illicit activity, especially because
this structure incorporates the international market.
The movement of large
amounts of money, the difficulty in accounting for all transactions, and ironically,
the clubs’ own financial needs increase this sector’s vulnerability to
organized crime, in order to curb corruption and money laundering through them.
The article argues for careful situation involving Football, identifying therisks of misconduct within sport organizations, and proposing measures that
could prevent hamper and punish any attempts to thwart these organizations’
main goal: promoting sport as a way for cultural improvement and teaching
people the values of tolerance and civilized coexistence.
