Former Tahitian vice-president of Fifa Reynald Temarii was indicted on Monday for passive private corruption. In this judicial investigation opened in 2019 in Paris on the designation of the emirate as host country, the investigating judges seek to know if the vote in favor of Qatar, for the World Cup-2022 football, was obtained in exchange for compensation.

At the heart of the suspicions is a lunch held in 2010 between Nicolas Sarkozy, then President of the Republic, Mr. Platini and two senior Qatari leaders.
