IanC Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Former Brazil striker Pele has welcomed the re-election of Blatter as Fifa president."I was in favour. It was necessary because it is better to have people with experience," Pele told reporters on his arrival in Cuba on Sunday to see a charity match in Havana."He's a man who has been there for 25 years [with Fifa], you have to respect him, it was an election."But then again Pele has not been the greatest of judges with his own business partners in the past.Back in 2001 Pele's golden reputation was tarnished by allegations that his sports company had stolen $700,000 (£450,000) of charity money.The money from Unicef, paid in 1995 for a benefit match, was not returned after the game was cancelled. Pele, promising a full investigation, revealed he was closing down Pele Sports & Marketing. He suspected his business partner of the past 20 years, Helio Viana, had stolen up to $10 million (about £7m) from his company, including the Unicef money.http://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/nov/25/worldcupfootball2002.football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
