Estadao, a Brazilian newspaper, reported that sources close to Sepp Blatter, the President of Fifa, had said investigators were examining the former executive committee’s support of the Gulf state and scrutinising business deals that had been made before the vote in Switzerland. Mr Garcia is expected to deliver his report later this year.
Mr Teixeira was a member of the Fifa executive committee for 22 years, during which time he faced several corruption scandals. In 2013, a report by Hans– Joachim Eckert, the chairman of the Fifa Adjudicatory Chamber, named Mr Teixeira and two other committee members as having taken bribes from ISL, a company that had been granted exclusive rights to market the World Cup.
The magazine France Football also reported that in the weeks before the 2010 vote, Brazil and Argentina played a friendly match in Qatar and, according to people involved in the organisation of the match, Qatar paid double the usual price charged by the Brazil national side.
