The problem with corruption is that, in the absence of careful enforcement, you don't have to choose. Blatter has had both power and, I'd wager, a great deal of money for quite some time now.

> And i would be surprised if they can connect him with bribery etc. He strikes me as that kind of person who likes power over a bag of money.

Money and power are generally fungible, and you don't have to handle a bag of money at either end to be part of a conspiracy that involves financial crimes.

The leaders of criminal conspiracies probably generally prefer power to money, with money being interesting, to the extent it is, as a means to power.
