– The storm has not nåd hurricane strength. The crime happened is real commented to the South Americans, so I can not understand how FIFA affected by it, continued the President.

– Are you worried that the FBI is out to get you? That this is personal, and that they will not stop until you are arrested? , was a matter of American press.
