This is reported Telegraph with reference to sources close to the investigation. The choice of the country where the World Cup 2022 will be held was held in 2010. The organization of the championship claimed a number of countries: Australia, Japan, South Korea, Qatar and the United States. But in the end they chose Qatar.

Investigators check several transactions that could be involved in corruption schemes. These are transactions that are related to French assets and were acquired by Qatar. One such transaction was the sale of the French waste-processing company Veolia, 5% of which was acquired by the Qatari state investment fund.

Investigators suspect. That in this way they could clean up about 180 million euros, which were paid to the officials responsible for choosing the country that will host the World Cup in 2022.

Sarkozy was familiar with the managers of this company, so that the investigators verify his involvement in the transactions. But at the moment officially Sarkozy is not a figurant of this case.
