The Associated Press reveals that Qatar, the host of the World Cup, paid in excess of $10 million for "Project Riverbed", a covert influence campaign in 2012–2014 run by a former CIA operative's company aimed at neutralising Theo Zwanziger's criticism of FIFA's decisionmaking process as regards Qatar's host bid, which he accused of being corrupt. During the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the same company surveilled Amos Adamu, another FIFA's executive committee member (who has since been expelled).
