(Reuters) - FIFA presidential hopeful Chung Mong-joon, who says he is facing a 15 year ban from the game, said on Wednesday that if he was guilty of attempted vote-rigging, then Britain's Prime Minister and Prince William should face charges with him.

Chung, who also said he would sue "hypocrite and liar" Sepp Blatter for embezzlement over his salary and expenses, denied he had behaved improperly during the awarding of World Cup hosting rights for the 2018 and 2022 tournaments.
