Former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner has promised damaging revelations about FIFA president Sepp Blatter’s electioneering, in a letter to a newspaper.

Warner, Trinidad and Tobago’s Minister of Works, quit his post on the FIFA Executive Committee and as head of CONCACAF on June 10 amid a bribery scandal ahead of the FIFA presidential election and the expulsion of another vice-president, Mohamed Bin Hammam.

Warner alleged, however, in a letter to the Trinidad Guardian, that Blatter used him and Bin Hammam to offer similar “gifts” while running for the post in 1998 and 2002.

“We took (Blatter) on a worldwide crusade begging for support for him and he won,” Warner wrote.

“That was the first time I met the present deputy chairman of FIFA Ethics Committee, Petrus Damaseb, at the time the president of the Namibia FA.

“I will tell the world what gift Bin Hammam gave to him then, which was not a bribe then .”

Warner blamed FIFA for “leaking” a video that was taken during Bin Hammam’s controversial visit to meet Caribbean Football Union (CFU) officials.

In the video, Warner can be heard telling CFU delegates he had not been in favour of Bin Hammam offering money at the meeting.

“I said to him, ‘If you bring cash, I don’t want you to give cash to anybody but when you do you can give it to the CFU and the CFU will give it to his members,” Warner said.

“I don’t want (it) to even remotely appear that anyone has any obligation to vote for you because of what gifts you have given them’, and he fully accepted that”, Warner added.
