LONDON (Reuters) - FIFA, world football's governing body, acts like a mafia family, a British peer said on Wednesday, likening the tactics of its president Sepp Blatter to the head of the fictional crime family in the Hollywood movie "The Godfather".
In comments likely to anger FIFA and Blatter, David Triesman, the former head of English football's governing body, told the upper house of Britain's parliament that FIFA was corrupt and any investigations it conducted into itself were cover-ups.
