Qatar World Cup: '£3m payments to officials' corruption claim
Fifa is facing fresh allegations of corruption over its controversial decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar.
The Sunday Times has obtained millions of secret documents - emails, letters and bank transfers - which it alleges are proof that the disgraced Qatari football official Mohamed Bin Hammam made payments totalling US$5m (£3m) to football officials in return for their support for the Qatar bid.
Qatar 2022 and Bin Hammam have always strenuously denied the former Fifa vice-president actively lobbied on their behalf in the run-up to the vote in December 2010.
The documents also show how Bin Hammam was making payments direct to football officials in Africa to allegedly buy their support for Qatar in the contest.
Qatar strongly deny any wrongdoing and insist that Bin Hammam never had any official role supporting the bid and always acted independently from the Qatar 2022 campaign.

The End!
Ok earlier everybody in FIFA was holy saint but becoz Qatar grabbed the chance to host the World cup so now they are corrupts :( such a height of jealousy by western countries towards a progressive country :(
The end game?
The latest allegations come after a slew of negative reports surrounding Qatar's hosting of the 2022 World Cup finals.
Attempts to move the tournament from summer to winter have angered Europe's powerful and rich soccer leagues.
Allegations of migrant worker abuse under the so-called kafala system of sponsorship, which has been heavily criticized by international human rights groups, have also tainted what had been greeted as a jubilant moment in Qatar's short history.
But the latest allegations, coupled with Garcia's imminent report on the bid process, could be the beginning of the end game.
"This is a turning point," said Corbett. "For the first time we have seen hard allegations regarding manipulation of the bid process.
"I think this is the beginning of the end."
