The United States Justice Department arrested several top FIFA executives on Wednesday on corruption charges.
The case's star witness will be Chuck Blazer, who served in the top ranks of FIFA and CONCACAF.
Blazer's story is an interesting one. He spent millions of dollars during his tenure with FIFA and CONCACAF and lived an incredibly lavish lifestyle, including apartments in New York, Miami and the Bahamas.
He had two apartments in Trump Tower — one, an $18,000-per-month unit he lived in and then a connecting $6,000 condo used mostly to house his "unruly cats."
It seems unnecessary to purchase a whole apartment just to keep a few cats happy, but when you're racking up over $29 million in credit card charges, you can afford to splurge a bit on your feline friends.
According to an extensive report compiled by the New York Daily News in November, Blazer was flipped by the FBI and IRS to act as a mole as they built their case against the world's governing body for soccer.
Blazer recorded conversations with the top officials as far back as the 2012 Olympics in London.
