Jack Warner 'asked Egypt for bribe' during 2010 World Cup bidding process

Former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner is alleged to have asked Egypt to pay nearly £5m in bribes in exchange for votes to host the 2010 World Cup.

Former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner has been accused of asking Egypt to pay a $7m (£4.58m) bribe in exchange for votes to host the 2010 World Cup.

Warner is among more than a dozen officials involved in the corruption scandal that has engulfed world football's governing body over the past week.

The 72-year-old has repeatedly pleaded his innocence, insisting that he is now solely focused on his political career after resigning from FIFA in 2011.

However, former Egypt youth and sports minister Aley Eddine Helal has claimed that Warner asked for money in exchange for seven votes during the 2010 World Cup bidding process. Egypt dropped out of the running after receiving no votes.

Helal told Egyptian television channel ONTV that Warner demanded the cash from then Egyptian Football Association president Youssef el-Dahshori during a meeting in the United Arab Emirates.

"Our decision was not to indulge in this issue," he said.

South African officials recently denied any wrongdoing following allegations that the country paid bribes to host the World Cup five years ago.
